    This sort of stuff gets me to leave cash and walk away. This note is legal tender for ALL DEBTS public and private. If they wanted to enforce credit cards only, then they should have charged up front. Bye.

      Man, you’re not gonna like visiting The Netherlands, where cash is quite commonly not accepted in favour of exclusively debitcards (AmEx and the likes are often not accepted since they’re far too expensive).

          Paying with card is convenient. If the amount is below an amount the card holder sets then you don’t even need a pin. It’s about the same time as each party counting money and so on.

      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).

          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.
