Shops and restaurants that don't take debit/credit cards are so annoying eh?

Anyone else get annoyed at shops that are cash only?  What's that all about? Who carries large bundles of cash around these days??   As a business owner who has just paid a very punchy VAT bill I wonder if I have missed a trick there :-)

VAT dodge or fiddling the books?

Or they don't like bank charges... Who does?

Maybe the proprietor is not deemed sufficiently creditworthy to have a POS card machine?

Obviously cannot speak for other businesses but we have a problem now that cheque guarantee has been taken away - small business daren't take cheques and the charges for a credit card system are steep.  Practical difficulties more likely than cheating anyone.
