So, Vegan restaurants are now refusing to accept payments with the use of our new £5 notes because they contain the smallest trace of animal fat (tallow).
Although i do understand it, I can't help but find it petty?
The bank of England have now been pressured into changing how they make these notes to accommodate Vegans and Vegetarians but if they look identical these restaurants will still never accept them as you wouldn't be able to tell which ones are new and which ones aren't? So this all seems like an unnecessary uproar as they will never be happy.
I'm curious on all your opinions?

1 RespuestaEditado por Lance: 12/8/2016 7:51:00 PMIt's their business, so whatever. But look at it this way, if a vegan at a vegan restaurant is willing to pay with this new note, what happens? Do they debate who is more supremely vegan? Do these two vegan parties get caught in an infinite loop of telling each other that they are vegan? The world shudders to know the truth.

1 RespuestaIf they refuse to accept payments, doesn't that just mean you can eat for free?

Wanting to have the note changed is going too far imo, but i don't see why they shouldn't stand by their principles of not having anything animal-derived on the premises. People would bitch at them for being hypocrites otherwise.

I can understand how they would have a problem with it because of animal rights and shit, but it is pretty damn petty. All the copies of those notes would have to be recalled and remade to accommodate them, and that seems very unnecessary and probably expensive.

Really dumb

Well they're from the uk, and they're also vegan. So chances are pretty high

To their credit, the principles are exactly the same.

Extremely petty.
