Look at it this way, anon -- the people who work there are not the type of folks you want to be financially supporting by giving them your business and they've been good enough to show you their true colors. Now you can support their competitors instead when you want gardening supplies. Had this incident never occurred you would have happily continued to shop there and put money in the pockets of people who, wittingly or unwittingly, support the promotion of electronic shackles on the public at large.
Telling all your friends is good and writing to the manager/owner is as well. If, by some odd chance, the manager wasn't aware of this behavior by his/her employees, he/she can offer you an apology, perhaps make amends, and correct said behavior by directing his/her employees to be more decent. It's likely that the rot comes from the top, but you never know. Good luck in any case.
Edit: In looking at low ratings on the TripAdvisor site, I found the following from October 2022. It seems their policy has been "no cash" for some time. On the good note... There's at least one other person in your area that's awake!!

Card only payment. We were due to spend £500 + on Christmas presents. It has just lost our trade. If you want Social Credits and to be told how and when you can spend your money, continue with your cards sheeple.
