"New York (CNN)New York is on track to ban cashless businesses after the city council voted to join San Francisco and Philadelphia in requiring brick-and-mortar stores to accept cash.

Under the law, food and retail establishments would have to accept American bills and coins or face a fine. Mayor Bill De Blasio is expected to sign the bill, his office told CNN.
"When you open a dollar bill, it reads 'This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private,'" said Councilman Ritchie Torres, the sponsor of the bill. "Cash ought to command universal acceptance.""

If it commanded universal acceptance you wouldn't need your stupid law you dumb ass. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to go cashless. Especially considering how New York wants to let thieves go w/o bail.
