In Palo Alto, and the wider bay area I visit bars and restaurants often with small "card only" signs which I have learned to spot early. I do not always spot them, and get a bill and am suddenly asked to pay with a card, often having to pay a friend cash to cover for me.
A couple times I just tipped extra to get an employee to pay with a card for me.
- Teever 3y agoI wonder what would happen if you didn't spot the sign and simply told them you don't have a card. Like will they accept the cash? Let you eat for free? Call the cops?
- LeafItAlone 3y agoAh, yeah I guess if you are in the heart of Silicon Valley places like this might be more prevalent. In my experience, the rest of the US isn’t like this, even major cities (at least one ones I’ve lived in and traveled to).
