Woolworths customers are furious at being forced to use EFTPOS machines as the only form of payment

But customers are furious at being forced to use EFTPOS machines as the only form of payment.

'I won't be buying anything from a retailer that doesn't accept cash. Cash is a legal form of currency and everyone has a right to use it,' one customer wrote on social media.

'Please consider what you are doing. Giving people the choice to pay with cash is and always will be essential in my view,' said another.

'I am boycotting Woolworths and any other business who will not accept my legal tender cash. I vow to never attend a Woolworths store again, and instead I will choose to trade with stores who respect me,' another shopper declared.

'I can see Woolies missing out on a lot of customers then,' wrote another.

Woolworths said most customers at stores that banned cash payments were already paying by card anyway.

'We know that cash remains an important payment option for many of our customers and 99.14 per cent of our stores will still accept cash. That is all of our supermarkets and the majority of our Metro stores,' a Woolworths employee said.

Last year just 27 per cent of consumers paid with cash while 63 per cent paid with debit or credit cards

Woolworths previously said the changes were made to make checking out easier for 'busy inner-city customers'.

A Reserve Bank of Australia survey found cash payments fell from 69 per cent in 2007 to 37 in 2016.

Last year just 27 per cent of consumers paid with cash while 63 per cent paid with debit or credit cards.

'Many people now tap their cards, or sometimes phones, for small purchases rather than paying in cash,' the RBA report said.

Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs. New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...
