Tesco has made 40 of its cafes cashless in a move that has been described as 'bonkers'

For as long as I can remember, going to the Big Tesco Extra has always been an event. The gigantic store with its runway-length escalators and endless aisles with everything you could ever want, has meant that I never pass up an invite.

READ MORE:I travelled 200 miles for a £17 slice of Get Baked's new cake - and the scenes were extraordinary At the same time, it found that 40 per cent of people – mainly under 24s - now effectively live a cashless life and rely on cards and smartphone apps, such as Apple Pay. However, critics say the move by retailers to drop cash is “bonkers” and risks alienating elderly customers.

Asking the waiting attendant, I was told that I could no longer order from the till. Instead, I was advised to order from the machines, to collect a number that was provided at the side of the machine, to find a table for myself and that staff would deliver the food. The coffee was brought over within minutes by a friendly staff member. Five minutes later the toastie was brought over as well.

For those who don't use their bank card or pay by contactless on their phone, there is no option at all to use cash. Whilst the service might be simple to use, it does rely heavily on technology which is something that some might not be comfortable with.
