Everyone pinged me their share of payment, which I promptly drew out of the next ATM to top up my wallet.
I'm absolutely not averse to technology, but the thought of being totally reliant on online banking and a card terrifies me. I would never ever go out without enough cash on me to pay for drinks or a meal.
That said - as mentioned above, a lot of bars we went to were cashless, even to the extent of a wireless payment sensor on the pool table!
