I wrote the wrong thing.
I have never come across a credit only store that does not take cash.
That’s what I meant to write.
Cash only is still common. I didn’t mean to say I’d never seen that.
I was wondering how young you were that you had not come across a cash only store.
Credit only is becoming more and more popular, usually in more affluent areas where most or all of the customers can be expected to have a credit or debit card. I think it just depends on where you are and who your customers are. But if most of your customers pay with credit cards anyway, then there are a lot of good reasons not to mess around with cash.
Credit card processing is pretty easy, convenient, safe, and inexpensive for businesses these days. Handling cash is inconvenient, time consuming, expensive, and potentially dangerous depending on where you are and how much cash business you do.
