Ah yes. SF attempted to float this idea but critics argued it disenfranchises those that don’t have access to payment cards or access to technology that can provide terminal payments. I tend to agree that physical cash should always be a viable option. Using a card or phone to pay at a terminal is a choice. If you say, “but cash should be removed for <reason X>”, look at the Square outage a few weeks ago. About a day and a half of no ability to use mobile ordering or paying for goods and services. What happened? DNS issues. If DNS issues can cripple an economy and business livelihoods then there should be a backup.
