A seemingly fed-up customer rammed a spray-painted car into the side of a Nando’s in Melbourne’s north on Friday morning, suggesting a link to the restaurant’s cashless payment announcement earlier this year.

Emergency services were called to the Nando’s on Barkly St in Footscray about 2.15am Friday after reports a car had driven into the front of a building.

It appears the driver left a message for the restaurant.

Police found an allegedly stolen white Volkswagen abandoned at the scene.

Written on the side of the car in orange spray paint read a message: “We don’t accept cash here”.

It appears the message was aimed at Nando’s, which announced it would only accept card payments in its Australian restaurants in May this year.



The change came to public attention after a Reddit post showed a sign inside a Nando’s store announcing the change.

“We’re card only!” the sign read.   :(

“Sorry, guess we’re part of the New World Order now. Just kidding, card payments mean we spend less time counting coins and more time perfecting your chicken.”

The news divided fans, with some left outraged by the removal of cash payments.


Police have established a crime scene at the fast food venue.

“On arrival no person was present and a stolen white Volkswagen sedan was still on scene,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said.

“At this stage investigators do not believe entry was gained to the building and the exact circumstances are still to be established.”

Anyone with information or footage of the incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hey Nando's, don't you know cash is king?.   :(

A quick google and nandos chickens are far from perfect.

Would you like your chicken torture before cooking or just cruelly abused?

Perhaps rat as a starter?

At least the death toll from the crash is better than that German thing.... not saying anything about the place....

I had to get my booze from another bottle shop because the bottle shop that refused my cash had counted up their till for the night. I was not going to have alcohol purchases on my card being displayed on my bank statements.

Why not? What have you got to hide?

Alcoholism and the possibility of not getting a loan.
