- That seems ridiculous. See that part on the dollar bill where it says
- "Legal tender for all debts, public and private"? I can't see any
- circumstances where it would not be acceptable to use cash.

- I have had stores that refused to sell to me unless I used a credit
- card -- after reading that section to them I have had several of them
- backpedal and accept cash. Others have still refused, and I've refused
- to do business with them.
-
- Sigh.
