Took a trip to Big Bend last week, went to the park entry to pay (with cash) and two of the park workers told me they don't except cash, I said, that should be against the law for the government to print something and then a government entity not to except it.
They looked dumb founded.
The private store at the mountain with in the park, excepted cash.
What a country!

Augusta National has been cash free for the Masters for a few years now. They tend to play by the rules, so it’s probably legal.

No. Stop being stupid and get a debit card like an adult.
And pay 3% more!

It should at least be against the law for a business to not accept cash AND charge a service fee for credit/debit cards.

Of course it can. If people can’t get a license or even an ID card how do you expect them to have cash on hand?

However, I would imagine that during an actual crisis these companies would switch to accepting cash pretty quick, for their own benefit.
I will not wait for a crisis. I will not ever walk in that establishment again. The employees there all had that "programmed" look about them.

I have always thought dollars issued by the US Treasury to be an accepted form of payment. Yesterday, I ran into several instances of cash not being accepted. If that is not payment discrimination, what is?
It should be against the law for a merchant to refuse cash when the transaction is person to person....maybe they're worried about being a target for robbery?
I can understand ordering stuff on the internet or cashless tollways but if I go into a small business and they say we only take electronic forms of payment......that's BS. I guess if I'm at a local brewery (and there are several who only take electronic forms of payment in KC) I could just withhold the 15-20% tip.

They'll just raise prices to cover the fees they have to pay for the processing.

Nope. Cash payment is not a protected class.

Considering that a vendor has to pay a processing fee for every payment card transaction, I don't know why a vendor wouldn't take cash.

Try renting a car with cash and see what happens.

The public golf courses in Shreveport don't accept cash. The other courses in the area do take cash. The reason is simple. The staff at the public courses steal. The staff at other courses do not.
I wonder what the difference in personnel is??

Lot of venues now will not accept cash. If you look at the people running the registers you will understand why.

Not accepting cash for payment is considered discriminatory.
It may be discriminatory by definition, but it's not an act of discrimination in that people without bank accounts are not a protected class.
quote:
“Prohibiting cash payments is an act of discrimination against the millions of Americans who do not have bank accounts or prefer cash,” said Senator Cramer in a press release from his office on June 23, 2022. “It also forces customers to exclusively use a less secure form of payment. The Payment Choice Act protects people’s right to participate in the economy using their preferred form of payment. If businesses unilaterally stop accepting cash, why do we print money? Is it really legal tender for all debts as it says?” said Senator Cramer.
I don't believe the Payment Choice Act was enacted.

There is no law that requires a private business to accept cash or coins.
There is no federal law, but a number of states have laws mandating the acceptance of cash, NY included.

Damn. Twice in the same post.
The businesses that don’t accept cash don’t have to worry about theft of cash, proper counting, or running back and forth to the bank to make deposits and get change for transactions.

Thanks for straitening me out there boy scout.
So then, the government doesn't have to worry about government employees stealing money that they steal from the tax payers.
No problem with credit cards or debit cards getting hacked right?
Yep, we deal in coupons but are forced to by the GSF of T.
Like I said, the private store in the mountain has no problem with finding good help, only the government entity.

Most private businesses have a very shitty time finding honest good help to run the cash register.
The government is of course full of corruption and idiots so I won’t even argue that point.
I just don’t see how people can travel without a credit card.
