... in Dallas is better.
$20.00 will just about feed two for lunch.

Aaron Bateman pulled out a few $20 bills to pay for a taco lunch in the nation's capital. To his surprise, his money was no good in the city where money is printed.
Surfside, a popular 24-hour Mexican eatery, doesn't take cash. No cash means no register for robbers to empty out, no bills for workers to slip into their pockets and no change counting holding up lines.

Ya cause the person at the register might have to count or make change. They aren’t trained for that!
When I think of my purchases, they’re almost totally by card.
The only thing I use cash for is to tip someone providing a service. It’s my take it’s harder for the owner of a business to screw with the tips that way.
In general, I am against a cashless society. When I look at my own practices though, I’m almost there.
My cards give cash back to me, and over time that adds up. If I pay cash, I don’t get that discount.
I get 3%, 2%, and 1% back on all purchases depending on what kind and where at. There are cards paying more these days too.
At the end of the year I get a few hundred dollars back.
Hey, $200 for example is better than nothing, what you get when you pay cash.
That's the point... cashless liberal elite 'yogurt' shops and 'vegan health' scammers can safeguard "sensitive snowflakes" from life. AND protect their stupid 'elite' social ideas from the sunlight of reality.
It's a lot easier to love the homeless from the safe distance of not ever having to interact with them...
You must be a Taco Bell fan then.
Dos Toros, a very nice fast food place in NYC and Chicago, stopped accepting cash at their NYC locations earlier this year. So this is getting around.
In a cashless society you are one click away from non-existance.
I only use cash. I refuse to use my debit card. If a business doesn’t take cash, I don’t do business. When the government knows every penny I spend and on what is the day I die.
I think it would be a debt if you had already eaten, like in a sit-down restaurant.
Before any exchange occurs, there is no debt.
Gee this horrible. How are all those people that claim to have no ID going to get credit?
No voter ID no credit. That’ll work.

Split the fajitas.
“THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE”
I know how to fix it:
1) Order your food
2) Eat your food
3) Put cash on the table for bill and tip
4) Walk away
Especially Nuka-Cola caps!! ;)
Within the last year or so, haven’t some financial institutions, card processors and so on decided to not support certain purchasers/sellers, mostly in the area of firearms?
If we go cashless, and “they” decide not to support firearms purchases, what then? If they can do that, what stops them from not supporting the purchase of MAGA hats, or books by Thomas Sowell or Ann Coulter? What stops them from making it hard or impossible to purchase anything they don’t like?
“Surfside, a popular 24-hour Mexican eatery, doesn’t take cash.”
That’s illegal...just like most of their kitchen staff.
I see subtle signs of it everywhere. Most vending machines now allow you to swipe a card or even your phone for ApplePay. Tolls on the highways and bridges have mostly gone cashless. Even a cup of coffee is a swipe of the phone these days in most big chains like Dunkins or Starbucks. Now you can go see a movie, get on a train, or pay for your groceries with a swipe.
Not saying I like it but you can see the handwriting on the wall. Cash is not going out with a bang but with a whimper.
So what do these joints do when their banks are not available to process transactions? Accept IOUs or something. Nope! They will demand cash.
