Businesses including Waterstones and Gail's have been forced to return to accepting just cash after electronic payments were hit by a web outage.
Shops, cafes, pubs and even Parliament have been impacted by the global systems, forcing customers to use cash to pay for goods and services.
Waitrose told shoppers it was unable to process contactless payments as a global IT outage sparks chaos across the UK.
The middle-class supermarket was understood to only be able to process chip and pin payments or take cash in stores, before confirming its systems were back up and running. Customers reported being told that they would have to get cash out of nearby card machines to pay for shopping.
