    Cash being legal tender, OP's consumer rights aren't waived by using it are they?

    Everyone here moralising like OP has singlehandedly masterminded some billionaire's tax evasion scheme.
    No, but it's blindingly obvious that taking less 'for cash' means it's off the books, which obviously means no receipt etc. 
    It's very, very simple. 
    Tax evasion and benefit fraud are the main reasons people want cash, when I ran a tiny business <20k turnover I still took credit cards and bank transfer, issued invoices. I never asked for cash, although I was paid that way a few times, it was a pain because I had to pay it into the bank.
    Customers who plays the game for a discount have effectively waived enforcing their consumer rights because they cannot prove who did the work.
    My nephew has also had negative reviews removed because the customer cannot prove he did the work.
