🍻 Cheers to saving money! The Trumpet Inn, a cosy pub near Ledbury, is shaking things up by offering a generous 5% discount to customers who choose to pay with cash! 🍴💷
Landlord Alan Davies is on a mission to cut down on those pesky bank charges from card payments. Imagine sipping on a £6 pint that’ll cost you just £5.70 when you pay with notes and coins. Every little helps, right? This quirky decision has seen a 45% jump in cash payments as locals rally behind the idea.
Alan shared, “We kicked off this scheme a couple of weeks ago, and it’s been a game-changer. Paying high fees just to tap a card feels bonkers. If the bank system crashes, having cash is a wise backup anyway!”
Even the staff are getting into the swing of things, embracing the nostalgia of counting cash and brushing up on those skills we might have lost in the digital age. Plus, spending with cash means you’re more likely to keep track of your budget – remember the days of heading out with a crisp £20 note?
Regulars like Dave Holloway are all for it, saying, “Any discount is brilliant right now – it all adds up!” Meanwhile, staff member Bella Grinnell loves the break from screens, finding the change refreshing.
In the face of rising rates and industry challenges, innovative ideas like Alan’s could just be the lifeline pubs need to keep thriving. So, pop by The Trumpet and show some support while enjoying a cheeky discount. What’s not to love? 🍻
