I am shocked that a lefty shithole city would do this.

Lawmakers and supporters of the bill argue that banning cash in stores and restaurants is classist and discriminates against minority groups of people, like senior citizens and the homeless.

Because remember folks, senior citizens are too stupid to know how to get a debit card. And homeless are definitely customers of restaurants.

Whatever happened to letting businesses making the choice? If they want to exclude paying customers, they should be their choice.

Old news, but I still don't know where I stand on this issue. I guess card only places could be used as a way to keep certain demographics out, but aren't there a million legal ways establishments do this anyway? From what I recall, it was a trendy looking coffee shop and sweetgreen that were doing it. Neither were places I expect homeless people to be choosing when they find money for coffee or a meal.
