Last time in my hiking circles I heard a crazy idea. Drinks on vouchers.
So in the hut you buy for example 20 vouchers (separately) for beer, tea and then redeem them in the same hut when you're thirsty. This way would probably be suitable for locals or frequent visitors and hut keepers wouldn't have trouble with small change.
If it already exists, I don't know. Gruntamo toplu vadu?

It seems to me personally simply interest-free lending to huts. An attempt (rotten capitalism) how to pull as much as possible and as soon as possible from people's pockets has obviously moved higher too. Whatever I drink and eat I'll pay right away, and also not tied to some location that I have to spend vouchers (even if home hill). And a banknote is valid everywhere, euro even across the border.

sorry to disappoint you, bats, but mountaineering has been commercialized from the very beginning. I recommend reading the book "Iz mojega nahrbtnika" by Janko Mlakar, in one story he writes how hut keepers are tasked with shearing those strange animals that he professionally calls homo sapiens alpinus, and this already before WW1. Our beloved Triglav priest Jakob Aljaž had the idea for a funicular to Triglav summit. There are more such examples.
Otherwise I have nothing against introducing vouchers, but see no special advantages either.

@wolphgang you didn't disappoint me, commerce is (too) deeply present in all matters of today's life, useless idea really reminds me of feudal times. Well we are different, but we all love hills and mountains and that's why we go there.

No worries bats, didn't mean anything bad, since you mentioned feudal system, back then farmer had to give tithe, now just VAT 20%. Let's leave politics now, as you said yourself, important is to have fun in the hills

I too find it a bit silly to pay in advance even if regular guest. Well in the last case it would pay off if I got volume discount on buying vouchers, otherwise really see no sense at all.

I really don't know what the problem is. Whoever the vouchers suit would just buy vouchers, whoever doesn't pays cash.
We could learn something from Mlakar though.
