Strippers get ruffled if you are stuffing checks and money orders in their thongs! ?

There are plenty of small stores and small restaurants in big cities which accept cash only.

Many people neither have a credit card nor a bank account. That ruling means that being free of others' religion is a privilege afforded only to those who can afford it.

No merchant will take a check in New York City.

What about people who have not yet established enough credit to qualify for a credit card?
I once had a check refused because I didn't have a credit card to back up it.
What if your credit card gets damaged and you have to resort to cash?
What if your credit card account gets frozen because someone hacked it and you have to resort to cash?
How many people do you know that carry their checkbook around with them. If something goes wrong with your credit card on the spot you almost always have to resort to cash.

Flea markets , yard sales , produce stands , person to person transactions .
Drug deals ( the Cia would go broke without cash )
Gambling machines ? Beverage machines ...

If you can even find a vending machine that takes cards, it will charge you to use the card, and/or hold money from your account until the charge clears. If there is not at least the amount it holds in your account, it will reject you, same as with fueling station pumps. For example, I lived in an apartment complex with vending machines in the gym. If you used a card to get a soda, it would withhold $10 from your account until the machine's accounting software was loaded in the vendor's computer. He did not come daily to collect. So if you had $8.76 in your account, it would reject the sale. Or if you had $12 in your account, and bought a soda just after he had downloaded the info, but needed gas the next morning, you were screwed.

I really wish you the very best in your endeavor. I think we should go back to the original motto of The United States, "E Pluribus Unum". What was ever wrong with that? Why we had to differentiate ourselves for the godless communists is beyond me. Our differences are what makes us strong, the fact that we all come from different backgrounds yet are one as Americans. I think there were some great ideas mentioned already, but let me leave this. Maybe it will help.

Busses without a pass. Having to use cash is getting rare. Gun show purchases, I believe, are often cash only - that opens up another huge debate. Anyone see the 13 year old purchase a gun video? He got laughed at trying to buy alcohol and shut down quickly for cigarettes but bought a . 22 long ride for cash a gun show. Sorry, a bit off topic. I doubt the lawsuit goes anywhere, however my best wishes and support of a cause to raise awareness. Like having to say the pledge in HS. My state, PA, passed a law about 10 years ago requiring the pledge or singing the SSB. It never made it, getting thrown out in court. It did come close, with some parents supplying the private school I worked at with flags for all classrooms. Two months before it was to go into effect, I told my class to get their singing voices ready. One of the girls is now having some moderate success as a singer and at the time could easily belt out the SSB.

1. not having a bank account. banks these days will deny bank accounts to people with bad credit. bad credit should not mean people can't buy stuff; everyone needs to buy what they need to survive. if you don't have a bank account, you need cash. you can't use a money order at the supermarket.

2. vending machines. some may use credit cards but some credit cards charge per transaction and the charge may amount to more than the cost of the purchase! more research may need to be done here.

3. every citizen should have the right to use legal tender rather than something that represents legal tender (which is symbolic in and of itself but that's another story).

4. lawn sales, garage sales, private sales. ordinary citizens don't tend to accept credit cards! if you want to buy something from a neighbor, you need cash.

5. tips to the paper delivery person. pizza people may accept cards; other delivery folks, especially those who are not collecting payment at the moment, don't.

6. checks are not always free; one generally has to buy them. credit cards often have fees. cash is the most direct, fee-free way to pay for something. atheists should not be forced to pay extra not to be bothered with someone else's religious declarations.

Some people do not have access to credit/debit cards or a checking account.

Using Cash usually gives you a 3 percent discount for gas in these parts.

A mudslide took out all cable based internet plus the cell towers two years ago (and killed more than 20 people) in my area. Restaurants could only accepted cash.

Many gas staions have a cash only price that is lower than if one were to use a credit card.
