Slightly related: I just assume any business that operates on a cash-only basis is commiting tax fraud.

Tbf if I ran a business I would probably go cash only because payment processors have become somewhat predatory.

Thats fair. The working class has to work outside the law to make it but corporations are able to brutally fuck us in a legal manner.

OP said cash only.
Like actively refusing card options. Because if you loose a potential customer you may did not have to pay the card transaction fee but also lost their revenue.

If you have credit cards as an option everyone will choose it because convencience, cash only is the only way

Someones confidently incorrect.
It is convenient. But sometimes I prefer cold hard cash.
Reason: Better spending habits than with the abstract spending of electronic cash.

Edit: I was confidently incorrect while writing ;)

The thing is that the video I linked is from someone who likes to vote with his money, people like that will only accept cash

There are good reasons

P.S its "confidently incorrect" not "confidently wrong"
