Yeah, but auto parts don't cause brain damage or turn people into paranoid lunatics. Or maybe they do.
A lot of the stuff you find in an ordinary pharmacy causes brain damage, and produces other bad effects. If we told pharmacies they had to deal only in cash they would become crime centers, just like pot dispensaries...
When we repealed prohibition we allowed liquor stores to have bank accounts.

I am a small-time landlord. My rental contracts specifically say that rent can not be paid in cash. I do not want to be a target for a hold-up.
What do you think your life would be like if every payday you got a wad of cash in a cigar box? Getting home might be just a little dicey. A dispensary gets tens of thousands in cash every day. And, they can't take it to the bank.
You've obviously not had to replace all the brake lines on an '02 Dakota that drives thru PA's salt-encrusted winters .. lol/groan
