Oh, my.

I just don't get how any business can refuse all cash, given that every bill says "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private." There's no exception about if a company prefers not to mess with cash.

One of these years I'll work up the nerve to make a substantial order at a credit only place, and then have nothing but cash on me.
