Chicago Businesses Stop Taking Cash, Should Rockford Follow Suit?
If you could no longer pay in cash would you be upset?
I rarely pay in cash. I just don't have it on me.
Back when I used to wait tables I constantly paid in cash, but these days, not so much.
But should we still have the option?
According to NBC 5 Chicago, there are more than a handful of businesses that no longer accept cash, including Argo Tea and Epic Burger.
The idea is that cash slows down service, but really is it that big of a deal?
