Those places won't even let me order until I give a credit card.

Is that because the restaurant had too many walk away without paying customers?
The time to worry is when all currency is recalled and the new shit doesn't have that phrase - that's how it's all been done before.
I'm seeing plenty of mom & pop joints offering around 5% discount for CASH MONEY.
Republicans are moving to block Democrat President Joe Biden and his administration from rolling out a “digital dollar” to replace physical cash across America.
The Biden admin has been working on implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
The centralized digital currencies are designed to replace traditional cash but are engineered to have in-built control mechanisms.
The plan has been heavily pushed by unelected globalist organizations, including the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
A key part of the CBDC agenda is to create so-called “cashless societies” that would governments and bureaucratic agencies greater control over the general public.
As architects of the plan have gloated, CBDCs allow for individuals’ spending to be tracked, monitored, and controlled.
Those whose spending habits indicate that they have a large “carbon footprint,” for example, could be punished.
In a more extreme example, those found to engage in “hate speech,” i.e. “misgendering” someone on social media, could have their funds restricted, denying their ability to buy food in their “cashless society.”
As one WEF speaker recently boasted, CBDCs could be used to control what people can buy by placing blocks on “less desirable items” such as “ammunition” and guns.
Led by House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), the Central Bank Digital Currency Anti-Surveillance State Act has resurfaced.
The bill seeks to stop the Federal Reserve’s exploration of a digital version of the dollar.
As Slay News reported, in March, Biden ordered Fed Chair Jerome Powell to advance plans for a CBDC, a move that could significantly influence monetary policies.
But yeah - they don't want cash - fuck them. You're probably too courteous in that you ask before you're served. I'd wait till the end to have that argument, then call 911 and show the cops the cash notes. It should be hilarious.
I think you should return and order, and just have cash on you. Over and over.
Please email me the name of that cafe. Maybe I'll do it.
I literally cannot open that link without doing a ton of work, because I have multiple layers of blocking of all Google domains on my computers.
Could you just email me the name? Sorry for the trouble.
I agree about not patronizing places that won't answer the phone.
I tried with Brave's TOR gateway, but it hanged for about a minute, so I gave up.
I block all Google domains with /etc/hosts and Little Snitch, and some other firewall thing I set up so long ago I can't remember how it works.
JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN AGAINST A PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL CURRENCY
We're raising public awareness about the UK Government's plan to bring in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and get rid of cash eventually.
Find out how you can stop it and help the campaign.
Yes, I've always been a fan of the mobility that renting affords.
Sweden and Norway are getting the right idea. Bloomberg ran a story Friday headlined, “Norway Wants to Strengthen Consumers’ Right to Pay Cash.”
It seems weird to say this, and it’s a sign of how far we’ve come, but Norway is considering new regulations to force vendors to accept cash along with other types of payment. The article also mentioned that Sweden is considering similar rules.
The weird thing is that cash even needs protection. Cash used to be “king.” But nowadays cash looks less like a king and more like a crested snapping turtle or some other odd-looking endangered animal, or maybe like whatever is going on with the British Royal Family. Cash is King ... Charles.
I have no interest in having cash sitting around and keep the checking account low on purpose.
What bothers me is that it then forces people to carry a personal tracking device, even just to eat out.
What bothers me is I hear scanning those codes exposes a bunch of your data. I always ask for a menu, no place has refused me yet, even in San Diego.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has boasted that 98 percent of all central banks have now agreed to advance the unelected globalist organization’s “cashless society” agenda.
The WEF has revealed that most of the world’s central banks have been preparing to eliminate physical money and are now ready to make the switch to “digital cash.”
The revelation was made in a new white paper from the WEF which declares that nations around the world will soon be forced to adopt a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in place of traditional money.
Always use cash. And when they outlaw cash, use silver by weight.

When they outlaw cash, silver will not be useful. The solution metal is more like lead.

They have a window where you can order a beer while you are waiting. So I ordered a beer and they refused to take cash.
OK, I wanted the beer, so I paid with a credit card. Then the total had an extra $1.50 on it. I asked about that and was told that I added a tip. I specifically did not add a tip because I was pissed that they don't take cash.
I got the manager and made him remove the tip.
We are rapidly approaching the CCP utopia of complete tracking of all citizens at all times.
Lesson: call ahead and make sure a restaurant will take cash. If they will not, don't go there.
