Coming to a city or town near you?
Absolutely right. What payments do they accept I wonder? CC and the Brit version of an EBT card?
Here, the restaurants are eager for cash.
Sounds like a STORE POLICY, NOT LAW.
So, if the old man has CASH, the store HAS to accept it, like it or not.
The old man is truly fighting against “the man” (One World Order).
“legal tender for all debts, public and private”
Just realized right or wrong could be interpreted two ways. In my response it was from the perspective of the customer. (I think my comment made that clear, but in case it didn’t…)
We’re living in interesting times. Not good, effin’ scary but still interesting. Will the populace of the world buckle to the wishes of our self-proclaimed masters? Stay tuned, we’ve got a ringside seat.
Paying fines with wheelbarrows full of coins is another fun one.
I’d like to know if law enforcement was involved and what the outcome was.
It appears to be England. They’re a bunch of weird ones over there of late.
Not sure why they fought the Nazis so hard just to emulate them 75 years later.
I bet the stores are trying to avoid cash because it requires a clerk with at least two working brain cells to count it and return correct change.
That, and it’s less reason for thugs to rob the place.
Of course he’s right in any reasonable sense, but TPTB are making the legalities of such things very UNreasonable.
I once read that the legalities of “legal tender for all debts public and private” is why stores take your payment BEFORE they hand you your purchases. Until you have possession you are not in debt to them, so they can impose whatever conditions they choose, including NOT accepting “legal tender”. This explanation seems awfully facile to me, but it is largely useless to try to apply reason and logic to the law.
One of the things we need to watch out for is state or fed law changes to what govt entities will accept as payment for taxes and fees. When we can’t do that with ordinary currency, we’re in deep shit because that’s how they will force us into CBDC control.
New Orleans Jazz Festival did this in April, no cash. Was not well received.
Yes, I believe the law states that hard currency is always valid.
If you are using any type of credit or debit card issued by a bank, there is no practical difference between those and a CBDC. They can be frozen/inactivated at the whim of the bank. Same thing with checking or savings/investment accounts.
Cash in your pocket is the only thing you have that can’t be invalidated at the speed of a computer.
Under current interpretations of federal legal-tender law, the obligation to accept federal legal tender only arises once a debt has been contracted — and according to those same interpretations, the debt is not contracted until the merchant agrees to the sale. So the answer is no: the merchant is free to say “No sale” and reject both federal reserve notes and any other dollar-denominated form of payment.
Thus, the only organizations that are currently required by law to accept federal legal tender in payment of debts are governments.
I bet the thieves that rob that store blind accept cash when they fence the stolen items…
It’s already come to my city. I won’t patronize any of them.
An early omen that no one want to be the one holding reams of useless oBiden sanitary paper.
If cash is not accepted there is no debt. Say “thank you” and walk out with your purchase.
They would just love to make us into a clone of the NO DICK countries for the NWO.

Cashless stores and restaurants do NOT have homeless, (i.e. crazy,) customers.
Old guy should rinse those strawberries before eating.
