It should be illegal to not accept into your possession a physical object that people will use violence to get from you? Do you know the fear a shift manager has when having to manage an onsite safe? You've seen the armored trucks rolling around transporting the stuff right?
Businesses don't want to accept cash because its a liability and the burden of a card's surcharge just isn't enough of a pain anymore.

I can easily imagine there are some businesses in some areas where the clientele almost always uses electronic forms of payment, where it doesn’t make business sense to deal with the minority using cash.
