Is It Just Me-

A couple went to the reception desk of a Premier Travel Inn to settle up their bill. When they offered cash it was refused because they happened not to have proof of identity!!

That sounds ridiculous, I didn't think that cash could be refused if it was legal tender. I suppose most people pay by card these days

Yep, sadly its the sign of the times... with all the vat fraud and money laundering that we See to day... paying with cash, over a certain amount arises suspicions

When you launder money what is the best setting to use on the washing machine or should it be dry clean only?

Think you will find that most Hotels dont except cash.

Reason is that if at a later date something is missing, broken,trashed,owed, then they can be traced by their credit/debit card

Re: Is It Just Me-

That is odd - surely there is more to it than that tho? :-/ Did they want to collect anything from the hotel safe for example?

I think I'd have been tempted to say that I never carry credit/debit cards and did that mean my stay was for free? I bet they'd have taken the cash!
