Cafe bans customers from paying with money that has been kept in their bras and underpants

A cafe in the hot and humid Western Australian town of Carnarvon has banned people from paying with money stashed in their bras and underpants.

Fascine Coffee Lounge owner Robin Weeks said that his staff, including his son, were fed up with accepting sweaty money from patrons. "A couple of people pulled out money from their undies, other people from their bras," he said.



He has now put up a sign on the register spelling out the cafe's policy. He said he had turned customers away and would continue to do so, and urged women particularly to carry a purse.

"I know it's basically women, we've had some men that've put it in their jocks and pulled it out from there, [but] I know most women don't have pockets," he said. "I really don't know what to say."
