POV: the worst customer when you don't take cash

Transcript

Right then, what's the damage? 1850. There's 20. What do you mean you don't take cash? Oh my god. Oh my god, no, no, no, no. I'm not doing this with you today. No, no. You listen to me now, okay? You listen to me. Last time I checked, this was legal tender. Pounds Sterling. And I look around, I'm pretty sure I'm still in the United Kingdom. So what's gonna happen now? I'm gonna explain it very slowly for you, okay? I'm gonna leave the note. You're gonna give me my change. And I'll take my product and be on my way, okay? I don't care. I don't care. Go and find some change then. Go to the bank. They've got plenty there. It's just ridiculous. All this nonsense. It's been six years. It's been six years. Get over it now, you know? It's just ridiculous. I've done my part. I got the bus. They took the cash. Absolutely fine. And came, I browsed, I picked my product. And now you're telling me that I can't pay with the legal currency of the country that I'm in. No, it's just ridiculous. I'm sick of it to be honest with you. Everywhere I go, I can't pay with bloody cash. What I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna leave the note here, okay? I'm gonna take the product and I'm gonna go. You can keep the change. Call the police. For what? For buying the product with cash? I would love to see you call the police. I would love to see what they have to say about this. Oh, he paid with cash. Off to jail. Ridiculous. No, I'm sorry. There's the cash. I'm taking the product, okay? Sorry, not interested. Goodbye.
