They cannot refuse cash for a debt that is owed, but they can refuse to conduct a transaction with it beforehand.

  What qualifies as a debt? If I walk into a cashless convenience store and eat a chocolate bar before paying, can I force them to accept cash?

    In your scenario you're not accruing a legitimate debt, you stole something (admittedly with the intention of paying for it later).

      My question is, what formally distinguishes "outstanding payment" from "legitimate debt"?

        The judge. Can you leave the item behind? Were the terms explicitly stated?
