Well, it is. Thedaras is complaining about the inconvenience of paying cash. So, the solution is go to a consultant who accepts cards/cheques.
Not really the point of the discussion though, is it?

You'd be hard pressed to find one!
You cant usually make an appointment for one yourself anyway, you have to go through the golden circle of GPs and get a referral - 60 quid spent (probably cash only) for someone to tell you they cant do anything and you need a specialist.
That is simply not correct.
I have never paid cash to a consultant. If you are not satisfied with the consultant, go back to the GP and get them to get you an appointment with a different consultant.
Look for solutions.
1. Cheques bouncing leading to either bad debts or chasing customers which also affects the client relationship.
2. .......
3. The cost of providing laser/CC facilities
in this day and age there are ATM machines on nearly every street corner, shops, filling stations, ect ect.........how inconvenient can it be to get cash!???
If a builder insistes on cash do you hold the same view?I find it extraordinary the way so many posters so readily assume something is underhand just because a consultant asks for cash.
i agree, people should always ask for a receipt, but i would have no problem with someone asking for cash if thats how they choose to conduct their business.I'd have no problem paying cash but I would only do so if I got a numbered invoice and a receipt.

If the builder says
"It'll be €500 if you want an invoice or €400 cash if you don't"
then he's obviously on the fiddle
as is the person who pays him.

But some solicitors give discounts for cash payment, as do some doctors (and some accountants). Is it obvious that they are on the fiddle as well in these circumstances?
Morally IMO they are (especially when there is a reduced amount for a cash job) but legally they can claim that they are not responsible for the vendor's tax returns.
I've never been in a pub that won't take plastic.what amuses me is that when a consultant asks to be paid in cash some people quickly think oh....he/she must be on the fiddle! the same people probaly go to their local for a few pints and have no probem handing over cash all night without asking the barman for a reciept!
so why dont we think all publicans, chip shop owners,,ect are on the fiddle too!
seems like double standards being applied.
