> Not comply with sanitation requirements? Not bother to have fire suppression? No customer washrooms? I'm laughing. These are all things companies DO in order to cut costs. The most obvious and legal being the washrooms. I'll admit, most of my points are playing devil's advocate - This regulation has basically zero impact on me, and I don't strongly favor either side. I don't really want to lose the option to pay in cash (as a customer it can be convenient), but I also don't really buy the arguments being made here for privacy/inequity. It's entirely possible to buy a preloaded card in the US without an ID (somewhat ironically - this requires using cash in a store and it's not possible to reload afterwards due to KYC, so it's hardly perfect). It's also arguably not that different to plan out going to the bank to get cash vs planning out buying a prepaid before hitting the stores. And the prepaids make money from the store, not by charging the customer, so it's not any additional financial burden. Basically - I see these movements as politicians virtue signaling in cities with large wealth disparities.
