Law Cashless Society: Should Retail Stores & Restaurants be Allowed to Refuse Cash as a Legal Tender?

[7437]

What’s going to happen when either power or communications go out?
No more sales and everyone that relies on plastic is temporarily broke until the problems are fixed.

Most places wont sell you things when the power is out anyways. Cash registers tend to be electronic.

 

[PhitePhan]

How poor are you, j-roc?

 

[VivaRevolution]

Won't someone think of the job creators?

 

[Arkain2K]

Poor people use cash

That includes 40% of adults in New York, as well as almost the entire population under 18.

 

[Rod1]

Man in my country they want to make you use as little cash as possible because that way its harder to dodge taxes.

 

[Lead]

As much as I hate people using physical cash, it would be pretty bad if places didn’t accept it. I use my card for everything outside of $20 each month. I would think most people are like that now.

 

[Arkain2K]

I hate paying for things with cash. Counting the change the cashier gave me and then stuffing the bills into my wallet and putting coins into my pocket is less convenient than putting my credit card back into my wallet.

...Ok? Does that personal preference means you are in support of businesses to actually REFUSING to accept cash as a legal tender from other customers who actually wants to use it or not?

No. People should be free to use cash.

I'm assuming cashless businesses do not have cash registers?

When was the last time you saw an analog cash register!?

 

[Strychnine]

You live or lived in bumfuck Georgia. No one expects your inhabitants to have bills

And what pray tell, part of Utopia do you hail from?

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Ok, so where are you from? What state?

 

[The Diplomat]

north east

My condolences, sorry to hear that bud.

 

[HomeRun916]

Why in the BLUE FUDGE would you not accept cash??!?!?

Only thing I can think of is less theft?

but by the same standards you would do less business not accepting cash, so who knows.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Ontario

 

[Strychnine]

Ontario

Oh, ok..

So you trade in Beaver pelts and weed.

Gotcha.

 

[Seano]

Should you be "allowed" to pay with legal, government-issued money?

MrBeast says yes.

Seems fake. They'd at least have you roll them up in coin rolls.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Gotcha.

And we got rid of the penny ....so bring your finest cousins if you ever want to travel here
