Many small business es across Australia have chosen a side in the cash debate — with some refusing to take physical money, and others only accepting digital payments, as bank branches close, and the use of physical cash dwindles across the country. But WA publican Sam James, who has been running her pub as a cash-only business for about 15 years, said the fuss over payment methods is new to her, and the decision to ditch digital payments at her pub came with a bout of bad weather.
“Apparently you can pay with a ring, it just looked like a glass ring to me,” James said. “Since then, he’s come back, and he’s very happy with the whole cash situation now. He said that he got rid of the ring.” During blackouts in the area, James pops candles on the bar and shines torches at the pool table, the acoustic guitars come out and the beer, and cash, keep flowing. “Nothing stops,” she said.
