True, but that taco shop m̶u̶s̶t̶ may have to accept cash if they want to operate in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Tennessee. Or Berkeley, Chicago, or San Francisco.
And everywhere else in the U.S. if the Payment Choice Act passes.

Edit: Those jurisdictions have "pro-cash legislation" according to the ATM Industry Association Stateside Monitoring Service, but the source appears paywalled:

- alexb_ 4y agoAre you positive about Michigan? My most recent interaction with a cashless store was during a trip to Detroit, where a convenience store attached to a very large bank building made a very public point about not accepting cash. To include a large banner at the entrance of the store remarking about them being proudly cash free.
- maxwell 4y agoThanks for pushing back, yeah I'm not able to confirm that list, edited my comment.
- silisili 4y agoI'd 'unofficially' add NM to the list. While perhaps not a law, not accepting cash here would be an instant business death sentence. -Everyone- runs on cash.
- wintermutestwin 4y ago>San Francisco Went to a concert in SF at the Independent last month and the bartenders wouldn't take cash. You're saying they were breaking the law?
