Some people already live in this cashless future. They find nothing strange about paying for a pack of gum with a swipe of a card. If you are one of these people and you are you still somehow reading this article, you may be thinking, “What on earth is the big deal?”


You will learn what the big deal is when there is a power failure.

Liberals need to control things. Cash allows for purchasing things without leaving a trail of digital bread crumbs.

Shania Bryant committed a customer faux pas.

No she didn't. The restaurant did. It will learn to accept cash or die quickly.

More likely, when your bank account is empty because you posed off the wrong person.

Or if you fall out of favor and someone decides to freeze your funds or if someone takes a liking to your account and empties it out while you were sipping on your $8 designer coffee. How about if your car breaks down in BFE and the tow truck takes cash and only cash? Good luck waving a piece of plastic at him while you wait for an Uber to drive 100 miles to get you.

Just pulled out some US currency, just to be sure, and YES it is still marked, “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private”. Wonder how these NO CASH places get around that?

There are lots of places that don't accept 50s...or 100s.But I've never heard of a place that doesn't accept *any* cash.

This how they keep out poorer, non white customers who usually deal with cash.

“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.”

They refuse cash payment, you don’t have to pay.

If I hand out a $50 bill and the merchant says he won’t accept it, then I’ll have three words for him: “Great! Free then!”

Actually our local supermarket stopped accepting cash during a recent power failure. The cash registers wouldn't open! So they brought out some battery operated credit card readers, evidently kept on hand for this type of event, and started accepting credit cards as payment. Those with cash were out of luck.

If you have the food and they refuse to take the cash, the debt is quitted.

Strange. The bills in my wallet say they are legal tender for all debts public and private.

Just opened, and won’t be open long dictating rules to their customers.

The tyranny that will arise when cash goes away will be worse than any yet seen.

My favorite coffee shop, The Village Pantry, only takes cash, so the universe is still in balance.
