I'm on the fence about whether or not a business must take cash. on the one hand, its their business and they can do what they want. on the other, cash is legal tender, and i don't think it should be denied as payment. i only ask because a few cities are starting to address it through legislation, and they want the businesses to take cash. i rarely find myself in agreement with government faggots.

I am of the mindset that businesses can choose which forms of payment to accept.

Starting small, let's compare, say visa and amex. Amex charges higher fees for transaction processing than visa in many instances, so a business should be able to accept one and not the other.

Taking this a step further in regards to cash, a spiteful customer may pay a large bill in all pennies, something both parties know will take time to count and deposit, so a business should also be able to say no to a bag full of pennies.

Once you apply the two above scenarios, it becomes clear that a business can and should be able to accept or deny payment depending on the source, as long as they provide other, easily accessible means to pay. This last part is where you may have an argument, but it would need to be extreme ("we're a gas station in Vermont that only accepts Indian Rupees LOL")

Ever heard of monopoly's? Example: Comcast starts a payment system, everyone loves it because it is absolutely free to transact both parties. Now, 5 years down the pipe, Comcast uses your payment data to advertisers, they know all the shit you buy. Comcast Pay(tm) now rules the businesses, all competition is GONE. Now (((advertisers))) become picky and snoop on your transactions. (((They))) particularly do not like yourself buying a firearm or ammunition, or donating to a political cause, maybe even purchasing from their competition. They will shekel-goblin your ass on fee's or just shut you down. Now good luck buying food because everyone uses Comcast Pay(tm). Unless you pay the jew toll.

Happened to social media 20 yrs ago, the service isn't truely free. If Fedcoin goes live and all physical is useless, don't come to me when this shit happens.

Then bring a Monopoly suit if you feel what the company is doing in your "what-if" violates those laws.

I can think of only a few scenarios where using the government to take choices away from businesses owners to "help" us worked as intended. In almost every case, it simply consolidates even more power in the hands of politicians.
