I don’t think that’s relevant, because the discussion was about paying for goods at Target, a department store.
Even so, there’s a good chance your opinion is incorrect; some legal experts state that if a sit-down restaurant posts signs stating they don’t accept cash, it can be viewed as a contact[0]. Cornell Law asserts the following (note the past tense!): “Federal statutes do not require a seller to accept cash as a form of legal tender for payment of goods or services that were rendered.”[1] Most likely, the waiter would get a manager, and they’d take the cash, but why go through all that trouble when you can just eat at a regular restaurant that does accept cash?

- pasttense01 2y agoNo: "as at a counter service place where you pay as you get the food. They would be in their rights to refuse to hand over the food and ask you to leave." This is exactly the same situation as at Target: you bring a bunch of goods to the cash register. You offer a check. The cashier is going to say "sorry we don't take checks anymore: do you have another way to pay [a Target card, a debit card, a credit card, cash...]. Either you present the alternative method of payment or leave without the goods.
