Old fashioned cash

A ten bob note,

A smile and a joke. Tuppence ha’penny, The queue will wait for me.

This basic customer interaction,

A skill is rapidly losing traction. “Why can’t you just tap and dash?”

An elders’ only social occasion,

Chat chipped away, fraction by fraction. “Why can’t you just tap and dash?”

Plastic, Watch, or Contactless.

What’s this futuristic trash? Alienating your customers. “Why can’t you just tap and dash?”

Readies, moolah, bread, dough

Where are your customers gonna go? Loot, lolly, dosh or brass, What they gonna do, When they cant even buy a brew, With some good old fashioned cash?

(work in progress)
