Morrisons has announced a significant change to its payment policy, leaving many customers surprised. The supermarket giant is altering how shoppers can pay with cash, a move that has sparked mixed reactions.
What's Changing at Morrisons?
The retailer is implementing new rules for cash transactions across its stores. While Morrisons hasn't completely banned cash payments, the adjustments will affect how customers use physical money at checkout.
Why the Change?
This shift comes as supermarkets increasingly move towards digital payments. Morrisons claims the update will improve efficiency and reduce queues, though some shoppers worry it may disadvantage those who rely on cash.
Customer Reactions
The policy change has divided opinion. Some welcome the modernisation, while others argue it excludes vulnerable groups who depend on cash transactions.
"This feels like another step towards a cashless society," one shopper told us. "Not everyone has or wants to use cards or phones to pay."
What This Means for Shoppers
Customers paying with cash should prepare for:
- Potential changes to checkout procedures
- Possible limits on cash transactions
- New signage explaining the updated policy
The changes are expected to roll out nationwide in the coming weeks, with Morrisons promising staff training to help customers adapt.
