Undated video of the incident shows British activist Piers Corbyn — brother of the former British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn — trying to pay for a pint of strawberries with exact change at the Aldi counter, but since the Greenwich store operates entirely on the Aldi App, his money was refused.

Corbyn left the money on the counter anyway, and exited the store with the fruit. Store employees then reported him to police for stealing the produce, according to a report published Monday by the U.K. Independent.

Cash cannot legally be denied. It is legal for all debts, as correctly points out.

They can complain and claim they don't want cash. But legally if you pay for it with cash, the debt is paid in full.

Bud, this is in England and shops have the right to refuse cash. I just googled it.

What does legal tender mean? You might have heard someone in a shop say: “But it’s legal tender!”. Most people think it means the shop has to accept the payment form. But that’s not the case.
A shop owner can choose what payment they accept. If you want to pay for a pack of gum with a £50 note, it’s perfectly legal to turn you down. Likewise for all other banknotes, it’s a matter of discretion. If your local corner shop decided to only accept payments in Pokémon cards that would be within their right too. But they’d probably lose customers.
