That seems ridiculous.  See that part on the dollar bill where it says
"Legal tender for all debts, public and private"?  I can't see any
circumstances where it would not be acceptable to use cash.

I have had stores that refused to sell to me unless I used a credit
card -- after reading that section to them I have had several of them
backpedal and accept cash.  Others have still refused, and I've refused
to do business with them.

Sigh.
