Cards Only!

Type in to YouTube "Uber Rider Cancels During Trip", you will find a vast array of videos where the passenger cancels the trip on their mobile phone a significant distance from the destination to avoid paying. 

Yes and you will also find equally voluminous amounts of information explaining how the drivers are aware of this potential trick and what they do when it happens including stopping immediately and asking the passenger to leave at that point of the journey. If necessary, they can can aldo raise support requests with all the customers account details, identity, bank card details and address logged on the system at the click of a button which could easily be passed over to the police despite the customer trying to pull a fast one.

 

Nice try but it still doesn't detract from my primary points about convenience, security, safety and auditability electronic transactions have over physical cash.

Completely off topic but a significant number of pubs are taking advantage of the inflation and energy hikes meaning the actual costs of providing the drink is amibguous to the customer. The Head Of Steam on The Crucible Quarter charges £7 for a pint of beer, but another pub I went to charges £2.28.

The exact same beverage? Or are you comparing a craft beer with a pint of crappy Carlsberg or Sam Smiths?

 

I suspect you will be quieter today anyway as the schools go back.
