2011-01-29 09:39:00 The Fareham Pub has no card machine facility at all, which in this day and age of plastic money is absurd! Not many people carry sufficient money on them anyway, and the nearest atm is 10 minutes away, so if you run out of cash, that's yourr evening over, at least with card machine, you can continue to enjoy your evening! Lack of machine also turns customers away, as to survive in this day and age of drink driving a pubs main source of income is through a good restaurant and entertainment. Most people going out for a meal do not go out with a large wad of cash to cover the bill, they set up a tab, and put their food and drinks on it, and pay by card when they've done! At end end of day no card machine facility is making people walk passed the door, instead of through it!

2011-01-29 01:11:00 This is the age of the microchip. It is impossible for any business to keep up with competition and the progression of business without the ability to take the money from every customer that enters it's doors, should they wish to part with it. Telling them they can't pay with cards is simply delivering them into the hands of the competition; ergo losing money and business. Being able to use a card to pay for my purchase is simply a must in this moden age. I personally haven't stepped foot in any pub in at least the last 7 years where I couldn't pay with my card. Even if I don't pay for my first pint with my card, telling me I have to leave the pub before I can buy more because I ran out of cash is absurd.
