S&N offer cash-back in 500 of its pubs

Article Abstract:

Over 500 Scottish & Newcastle pub outlets will provide a cash-back facility designed to help customers who have run out of money. The UK-based public house group's move stems from the growing demands of pub drinkers in the 1990, although campaigner Alcohol Concern criticised the move, saying that it would lead to too much being spent on drink. Under the plan, revealed on 6 August 1998, customers at branded outlets owned by Scottish & Newcastle such as Rat & Parrot and Chef & Brewer, would be able to use and receive up to GB 50. Scottish & Newcastle says it its the first retailer besides leading supermarkets and Marks & Spencer to undertake such a move.
