- tell me why they should accept anything *but* cash from people who walk in
- off the street who aren't regular customers?
-
- a california driver's license says "the bearer has the privilege of driving a
- car" ... it says nothing of the sort "the bearer writes fabulous checks, and
- you must accept them." checks aren't legal tender, and merchants aren't
- obliged to accept them.
