I was at a bar with friends the other night and we ordered tacos and draft beers. They would not accept cash... except in their tip jar. I’m seeing this more and more often. Nothing but cards or Venmo/ PayPal accepted, and then they want to add a 3% charge when you use a credit card.

Often the move to cash is caused by employee theft.
Funny story. A country club in my area stopped accepting cash and instead all purchases has to be on the club account.
Several of the men were quite upset by this because it meant their wives could find out how much they were drinking. Before, they would order a beer and put it on the tab paying for several other beers with cash.
