I WALKED out THIS RESTAURANT in BENIDORM without PAYING! What would YOU have done in my SITUATION? 

Once we are "cashless" there will be no choice.

If we don’t use cash, it will disappear. And then when everything is card/digital only, governments WILL be able to dictate what and how much you can spend your money on. Example: the ‘climate emergency’ - the government will say your carbon emissions mean your flights are limited. That means you won’t be able to book all your trips because your payments will automatically be declined. All these sort of things very easy for a controlling government to do, once cash has gone.

HI Lee, i am the spanish guy from Madrid, it was a pleasure to meet you in Beni ! hope you had a great time despide of those things haha maybe some day we could meet again in the best city of the world, or maybe in Madrid !!! Hasta luego!

I heard some places prefer cash as the banks charge such high fees on card transactions.

Cash is king. We need to keep cash. It pisses me off when I go into a pub and it’s card only.

Feel sad that cash is disappearing as it used to be the way of moderating your spending.

No Cash I walk out !

Now you know what it feels like for those of us who want to pay cash,and are told card only,or even more specifically contactless only,which I don't have out of principle,only an"old fashioned" pin number card.I know you say you are all for choice,but going by previous vids,you always pay with your watch,never cash,so indirectly people who do so WILL lead to the death of cash,and therefore cede all privacy and choice of transactions to the government.

Went down in my estimation by being annoyed that a place only does cash. You had the cash on you anyway!!

Cash payments only = dodging the taxman, no record of income.

Mannekin pis is a famous statue in Belgium where waffles are very famous too. That’s the analogy

Cash for me all ways no chance of being cloned simple

3:54.. for those who don’t know, The Manneken Pis is the famous little bronze fountain sculpture of a little boy peeing in central Brussels, Belgium,

If cash turns into CBDC you will lose your freedom, you will not be aloud to leave your 15 minute city as you will not be able to spend any currency outside your area...Speak to Geoff buys cars!!!! KEEP CASH ALIVE!!!!!!

I blame the banks for charging to use cards and contactless

You should have paid for the beer,that doesn't look good taking it for free

When you pay by card, the card company charge the owner, so that means they are losing money, that's why people want cash.

Moans about not taking card payments then goes to the other Indian and only spends 38€ anyway don’t tell me the other was going to be much more 😂😂

Their restaurant, their rules. Just move on.

cash is King! love the videos going back to the old style

There choice cash only.and mine.

To be fair, places that only take cash usually have a notice on the door to that effect, the India Gate certainly does! My friends have a bar there and it costs them to have a card machine. Often customers will pop to the ATM to get cash, they don't seem to mind! India Gate's food is lovely too!

Lee, I'm surprised that a man with your travel experience hasn't heard of the Manneken Pis in Brussels - the little boy peeing into the fountain. Obviously that shop has a link to Belgium. A pity that the Steak House was closed - my mouth was watering at the thought of that steak buffet.

I would have walked out if they said card only!!😂😂

Oh Lee you should have given India Gate a go, it's an amazing curry house, we were so impressed we went twice in a week....you got to remember that cash is king in Benidorm, please try it when you go back 👍👍

As long as you are told it’s fair enough, you’ve still got choice, either you eat there or you don’t. Simples. You’ve ALWAYS got choices, nobody is forcing you to do anything!!!

Cash is king. Tax is theft

Can't believe that you as a traveller didn't know the significance of the little boy peeing and the name of the cafe.

Loved that video Lee. I watched Alex earlier on her live amazing as usual. So are you bro 👊 best wishes James

Everyone going on about the cash-only restaurant but I'm more impressed that you met the Spanish Weird Al Yankovich 😂

The Manneken Pis is a very famous statue in Brussels. How can you have never seen this?????

I would not worry Lee, I WOULD NOT GO TO BLOODY BENIDORM.

I am at a complete loss Lee. You go to a great India restaurant and order Chicken Tika Masala. It is not even an Indian dish. Created for the British Market OMG!

Some good points. But you are carrying on like they only accept €1 coins 😂 Here is a point, how much money do small business lose per card transaction, especially American express….

Manneken Pis ( little pissing boy) is a best known symbol of Brussels and Belgium. It has various legends, as well as imitations and similar statues throughout the world. The figure is regularly dressed in clothes and uniforms and its wardrobe consists of over a thousand outfits. 😊❤

Why not eat Spanish food 🤷‍♂️

The world needs to have both .

If you don’t use cash they will get rid of it and the government can take control of everything you do ❤

Great walk about the food looked bangin 👍

Yes I would go to a cash only restaurant its a war in cash we need to keep using it I only use my card niw online

I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill you'll give yourself high blood pressure

Great video Lee 👍👍

The one that winds me up is card only I always walk out of there and the only ones that win with card only are the banks with the percentage they take off the vendors. Also who gets the tip with card only cash all the way for me

It's not a McMaster video if he ain't having a WHINGE. How much he has changed over the last 3 year's😂😂

Great video thank you

Sorry cash only for me...hate paying by card..that suits banks and the government

You're right Lee, you should have a choice

Good food vid again Lee 👍👍

Fantastic Video. Well Done.

Why walk out cause it's cash only? It's only cause they don't want to give the tax man all their money, it's when they say card only now that's annoying 😡

You're get your preferred way to pay Lee when cash is gone and CBDC are forced on to everyone. Then they can switch it off for you if the powers that be don't like you. Choice will certainly be gone then. Currently you have the choice to go elsewhere for now.

Manequin Pis is a statue in Brussels

Loved the vlog, but all I could think about when you interviewed the guy from Madrid was the scientist from Independence Day 😂

Cash is king

The Mind Boggles- STATEMENT of the year and just says it all - 'McDonalds is SAFE' !!! WTAF

The all you can eat steak house is right opposite Winners Bar on the corner,not the Winning Post. It's literally 20m away from your hotel!

Loving your travel vids

Cash use it or loose it

I agree lee you should have choice with paying 👍

Great video Lee, you make friends wherever you go 😄

For someone so well travelled I can't believe you have never heard of the Mannekin Pis statue in Brussels! It's a Belgian themed chain using the most famous monument in Brussels !

Cash is king don’t use cards (ID card )

Interesting video, Lee 😊

Fabulous blogs Lee

You said people whould say but cash really is king I never understand why people want use plastic friend all the time use it or lose it mushy

Hi Lee, Went to India gate two weeks ago gave the young waiter a big tip cos it was his birthday he then told me the restaurant was owned by an Indian family who employed Pakistani workers and there were cameras all over the place he asked me to be discreet when I gave him his birthday present needless to say not good.❤

Nice One Again Lee.

They gave u a free beer then u walked out lol how cheeky is tht

Would you have walked if it was card only it would have been fine the other way around lee wouldn't it .

Manneke Pis is a belgian statue in Brussels. It is probably a belgian waffle and pancake shop.

Belgium waffle/pancake house with the most famous statue in Brussells and using it as their logo!! Really Lee? 😁

'can u have chips?'' 😂😂😂😂

I agree with you Mac - its so annoying when they only accept cash - its hard enough finding an atm these days that dont charge - enjoyed the video

People saying they don't want to give all their money to the taxman, but there's also charges for using cards. I carry cash with me, so there's no problem. I don't blame them for cash only

I love the beer glasses with the floral motives. Any idea where you can buy them?

I only use my card for paying and I wouldn't eat anywhere that only accepts cash - good for you!

Wow lee weather looks very nice compared to the UK cloudy for days with rain

What! you don't know about the Rude boy of Brussels weeing in the fountain ??? Only 1 of the most famous statues in the world. So not surprising its a symbol on a Belgian waffle place

Mannekin Pis.. Very famous little statue in Brussels of a peeing boy. The locals dress him in dufferent clothes. Quite a tourist attraction

the Boy Peeing means it's a Belgian place

Great Vlog Lee bte the Mannekin Pis Is a famous sculpture of a little boy that is taking a wee , hence the logo

I avoid card only places as they are one of the main drivers of removing cash from society. Im always happy to support Cash only business's all the way and will always give cash if thats what they prefer. But I take your point about choice, especially on the EV front!

The menu was enormous, which should cause suspicion as to the quality

Businesses have to pay a transation fee when you pay by Card.. This hurts small businesses ... How you going to pay when the Internet goes down ?? Always carry some Cash when visiting bars & restaurants then you will not be surprised.. and Dont forget to Tip which 99% of folks forget or purposely do not when they pay digitally ...

Manniken Pis is in Brussels just off the main square. He put a fire out by peeing on it. You were outside a Belgian eatery

I totally agree with you cash or card should be accepted. A few shops and a pub in my home town in the UK only accept card payments .

Lee om GUTTED you didnt try india gate. I can promise you its better than cafe india! I do understand you about the cash thing thoigh. Please go back one day and you love it I promise.

They even take Scottish notes in Benidorm!! If anyone refuses in England, call the police. Any store will soon be put right

I agree Lee, I want to eat somewhere that does cash and card.

Seems the reverse of UK. Some places won't take cash now. Agree you should have a choice either way.

So glad you showed the peshwari naan, never had one but would now

Very nice area .friendly ppl enjoying the day .❤

Hi Lee 🤚 Benidorm,looks like a great spot for a vacation.Lots of food choices.Got to agree with you about, having the choice. My town has 1 restaurant,that's cash only.And my car insurance co. stopped taking cash.And it was in a convenient location,I drove by there office every day.

Belgian waffles ! The pissing boy from Brussels!

Always pay cash ,but I know a few people who would rather pay on their card and don't carry any cash ,great vid ,weather looks stunning ☀️☀️🇪🇸

All the Chinese takeaways around my place are cash only Lee, can make it a bit difficult at times I admit

Cash is king, ask Geoff..

Hi Lee, another good video, this has made me watch some of the episodes of 'Benidorm'. As for premises accepting cash only, I disagree. I am now sadly disabled with severe mobility issues. I remain in my lovely flat with my cat and always order in and pay by debit card. I haven't even seen a pound note with the Kings head on it. Can't go wrong with a Scottish Indian in Benidorm, Tony Singh is a famous Scottish Indian chef.

Manekin Pis, a famous statue in Brussells!!

Nice how you make perfect strangers feel comfortable and smile and have such a nice conversation. It is a talent few have. I think one of the troubles in finding places that people recommend is that their name for the place is different from the real place.
