Wetherspoons stops accepting Scottish £20 notes in most English pubs
The hospitality giant announced that the Wetherspoons positions in the UK stopped accepting Scottish £ 20 and 50 £.
Pub chain, fake cash warnings used by criminal gangs required to move, he said.
It turned out that customers have not been able to use cash since November and did not announce the decision of JD Wetherspoon. However, more people who began to complain about change brought to the light.
JD Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “Last October, a large number of counterfeit Scottish by the Bank of the UK was informed by the Organized Crime Gangs.
“Recommendations were given on how to define them, but with a warning so that he would not accept what he did not doubt. This warning decided not to accept Scottish £ 20 notes at the end of last year with an increase in fake notes on pubs on pubs.”
“Scottish £ 50 notes are not accepted for the same reason. We will continue to review this decision.”
However, “close connections” to Scotland and the British bars in Scotland will still accept money, he added.
The decision was criticized by the cash spokesman Martin Quinn campaign, saying that the chains should have control in places to detect fake notes instead of refusing to accept them.
“All notes have various safety features and much safer than old paper notes,” he said. Sky News.
“If you do not return to Scotland, if you have notes and Northern Ireland notes and you can not spend them, they are not really ideal; they become worthless.”
JD Wetherspoon has reported a strong return on its latest update and an increase of 5.1 percent in the three -month sales that ended on July 20, compared to the previous year.
Pub groups say that sales volumes exceed pandemic levels after previous concerns about a stagnant recovery in their property.
In breakfast sales and high draft sales – especially Guinness – a rebound, two of the key drives behind the increase.
The chain expects to cover profit forecasts for the year, although the employer warns higher operating costs following Labour’s decision following the decision to increase the national insurance contributions and minimum wage.
