That's all a married man with a nineteen year old daughter is liable to carry in cash these days, when, like I say, one can go anywhere else but Casey in the Melbourne area and use an eftpos machine. By the way, the dude in the Ticket shack agreed with me, said I and 150 others had said the same thing.

I arrived at 1.50, walked round the ground from the car park in the paddock, queued up to pay and saw the sign 'Cash Only'. I asked if there was an eptpos facility nearby, he replied in the nearest shopping centre. I said this is a troglodyte sham, he said, 150 others have said that. I walked back to my car and drove home. Goodbye Casey Fields, I'll not be going back. On the flip side, he can count to 150 and that's no mean feat in Cranny.

praha 11,267 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I *never* have cash on me. Any cash I do have I generally tend to lose because it's lose change and I always deal with cards. If a place doesn't have eftpos they simply don't get my service. Ever. I'd have done exactly the same thing.

Fair enough my daughter is 5 and she's already pretty expensive! I agree it's pretty dumb you can't even get a ticket with eftpos in 2017
Satyriconhome 10,880 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 What's EFTPOS, always pay cash, you can't track cash
Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Has anyone seen a maroon Lexus in the car park?

Chook 15,068 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I don’t see what everyone’s complaining about. The last time I went to Casey, they hadn’t invented money there yet. I had to barter with livestock.

So what occurs when you want that pie ( possibly a good thing to be saved from rethinking ?) or beer etc. A LOT of folk just wave the phone or card. I know ...requires 21c thinking... Eftpos freely available for the food BB. I have just got back from the most fantastic double-bill. Both teams did themselves proud and My Bro, son and I agreed it was a fantastic day. NB. I am a member and I did have cash.

How the hell did you qualify for an AMEX if your not worth 5o bucks to your name ? Anyhow I'm off to watch to watch Moana for now and Hope that your finances improve and you stop moaning while I'm away !
Earl Hood 6,167 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Was really looking forward to going to today's matches but on Friday I discovered my passport had expired!

If you had cash and you live in Thornbury and you like Christians you're obviously related to the Salems and drive a Mercedes and I know that your fellow countrymen are cash dealers. I deliberately spelt c not hash.Okay. I'm glad you had cash and had a good day, I had to go home and get nagged to death by my wife.
