Its up to you what you pay with, as long as its the right amount, although you might be better off going a supermarket and using them machines to change them, it will save time as the person will have to count it all out and ul have to wait

Not sure, its illegal to dispense petrol without means of payment, but its also up to the seller to offer the buyer to opportunity to buy, which they often don't in the case of mispricing etc.

If anything is wrong in our shop I tell them that it is an offer to buy & not to sell. So they can offer to buy it for that price but we can refuse their offer.
If its legal tender then you have to accept it.

Surely you want them to buy it though, so why would you refuse it?

Yes.
1) You're black
2) You smell
3) You're Scottish
etc
(PS - The being black one is a joke, the other two are valid reasons  )

Well why put it for sale then and not want to sell it?
I thought that if it was priced wrongly you had to sell it for the price advertised?

Well, say you walk into a shop & pick up their brochure.
The brochure says that a item is £99.99
This is infact an error in the printing & should actually read £199.99
Now if the store sells this item at £100 less than it should be they will make a rather large loss from that sale, so it is in the stores better interests to not sell that item at all for this price.
If it is advertised as an offer to buy the prodcuct then they can offer to buy it for £99.99. The store can refuse this if they want to.

They're advertising an offer to buy the product, not sell it.
Think of it as a loop hole.
