Technically that is not legal. It’s on the money: this is “legal tender for all debts public and private.” By law, they have to accept it.

Actually, they don’t have to accept it. It may be legal tender, but if a business doesn’t want your money, they don’t have to take it. It’s a good idea to take it, but they don’t have to.

Read the excerpt? It’s up to the business owner.

No, they don’t. You haven’t incurred a debt unless you were given the product or service prior to payment. If you eat and then they give you the bill, they have to take dollars. If you pay prior, or negotiate and pay before hand for something then it can be specified.

... currency is considered legal tender for all debts or dues -- but the Treasury permits private businesses to set their own policies, which means going cashless is fine with Uncle Sam.
I've been cash only for years. This article is NOT discouraging.

If you owed them money, they would have to accept it. But you don’t owe them money, you’re trying to make a purchase.

This would mean that I can DEMAND that someone sell me something, because I have cash. Like telling a Christian bakery they have to sell me a cake for a gay wedding, because I have cash.
What ever happened to the "RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE" law that was on the books ?
Of course, I see where they are going with this (tracking your purchases, limiting loss due to theft), but it seems certain laws are being ignored in our country based only on WHO is involved in them.
The obvious choice for us is to not use places that won't accept cash, if we don't agree with their policy.
