This is also not legal.
Who's gonna stop them? (((They))) get away with so many things that aren't "legal" but no one opposes them. Boycotts do as much good as Whitehouse petitions.
Not true unfortunately. Businesses are free to refuse cash if you want to. Best thing to do is shop somewhere else
'For all debts public and private', how can that be legal to refuse?
I'd say restaurants are a grey area. Since you receive the food before payment, the bill could be interpreted as debt. You can't "cancel" the transaction at payment time. At a store they could just have you walk out empty handed and not take your cash. I'm sure the (((federal reserve))) will be happy to force you to go cashless.
Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment? There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
Good point - we need to start suing these people.
It is a simple principle of business law that, if payment of a debt is offered, and is then refused, then the debt is no longer owed.
Go to resturaunt. Video everything. Order and eat meal. Offer payment in the form of legal US tender. If they refuse the offer of legal US tender in payment, then you no longer legally owe them any debt for the meal.
If they threaten to call the cops?
"Oh dearie me sweet Auntie Petunia, yes please do get the courts involved, Sunshine. The sooner, the better."
Legal for all debts, both public and private. The biggest problem with 'law and order' now is, consenting to the made up BS that violates the Real law because 'they' said so.
And that is why you have to drag their ass into court as quickly as possible and force them into the posistion of either articulating and justifying how in the fuck what they are doing is legal, under oath and on the record, before it becomes generally accepted as "totally normal, business as usual".
