I know you’re being cheeky (and probably do always pay in cash) but businesses can actually choose to not accept the paper. I looked this up years ago wondering how airlines could force the issue of “CCs only.” Apparently being legal tender doesn’t mean companies are forced to accept it- which makes sense I guess. You just have to use legal currency (e.g., USD).

The airline isn't accepting a debt; it's up front.

I’m talking about point of sale transactions while in flight. It’s exactly the same as the coffee counter. And if a restaurant posts “credit only” they can also force the issue. There isn’t really any point in arguing with me when you’re obviously going on whatever idea you have in your mind. It’s just not true.

I'm talking about when you owe money to a restaurant after eating.
