Cash is still legal tender and hopefully will remain son for the future. How can any commercial establishment refuse to accept it? Logic says that this is not legal to refuse cash for payment. If the government doesn’t take the lead on this we as consumers need to boycott such commercial establishments that refuse to accept cash.

Didn’t these places learn anything from the recent Queensland floods when a small tourist town was cutoff and all their electronic machines were unable to be used nobody could do any business, all these people that are pushing for a cashless society haven’t any brains because if something happens to wipeout the electronics around the world we would sent back to the dark ages, people rely to much on electronics.

Cruise ships don’t use cash, and it doesn’t affect their operation. An island is little different to a ship at anchor. They should simply issue their own cashless transaction cards, linked to a credit card number, and settle accounts at the end of the stay.

Unfortunately those who push for a cashless society have no plan B for when the digital system goes down, as it does and will continue to do so, as man made it and man will continue to break into it causing mayhem as history has repeatably shown us. Before long I expect a major digital crash will occur for long enough to cause a lot of pain for individuals and business. My advice. Don’t abandon your access to your personal cash reserves. You are going to need it.

Just do not use the services of those that will not accept cash & I am using cash more & more for smaller purchases. One person was so grateful & he said you just saved me $1.00
