A man in Edinburgh walked out of a Starbucks after they refused to accept cash payment.
Kevin Fraser posted a video of his trip to the coffee chain in a Facebook group for people who question the validity of coronavirus and the need for lockdown.
In the video, seen by Edinburgh Live, Fraser can be initially be heard refusing to provide his details for the Test and Protect scheme, which all customers are required to do when using indoor hospitality.
"I don't need to give you my name to buy a panini, my friend," he says.
After he is told the price, Fraser refuses to pay by card, saying his cash is "legal tender" and therefore valid for payment.
"See this cash pal, right, this cash is legal tender," Fraser says, as the server calmly explains the store is not accepting cash payment.

"Listen pal, I am gonna leave you payment. And I have even left you a tip. So there is my payment, thank you for the roll."
As the worker begins to explain she cannot accept cash payment, Fraser is heard saying: "Your company does not decide what legal tender is.
"I need to ask you one question. I am not running away. I am not stealing," he says, asking if the store will call the cops.
Fraser then left the shop as the shop assistant was overheard saying again she could not accept the cash as payment.
He posted later in the group to say he had given the panini to a homeless man.
A number of shops across Scotland have moved to cashless payments to help curb the spread of coronavirus, and protect staff from potential transmission.
The video was posted in the "Saving Scotland - March on Holyrood" group, set up as part of the planned anti-lockdown protest in Edinburgh on September 5 .
A number of people congratulated the man on his stance, with one even saying they would be doing the same from now on.
Kevin Fraser did not respond to a request for comment.
