Retailers Rejecting Customers Cash As More Ban Paper Money

[Bouncer]

"Your cash is not wanted here", a growing number of retailers and restaurants throughout the US and UK are telling customers. But are reasons being given by companies for the new "cashless" approach — speed, efficiency, and the safety of store employees — valid enough to require something as utterly and downright unAmerican as rejecting cash?

We think not, and unfortunately the trend of "cash not welcome here" establishments is growing, to the point that lawmakers are beginning to take note and could introduce legislation barring the practice, as Massachusetts has done already, and as the New Jersey State House could be set to do next. According to a Federal Reserve survey conducted in 2017 cited in The Wall Street Journal, cash represented 30% of all transactions in America, with 55% of those being under $10.

What about all the tax free dollars most businesses deal in. I'm sure the "lawmakers" would love this but I can't see why any business would push for this apart from maybe the big franchises.
