Paper or plastic? Snohomish County may require businesses to take cash

[Jeebo]

1. It says on our paper currency ...

... "This note is legal tender for ALL (my emphasis) debts, public and private." There is a restaurant here that stopped taking cash when COVID started. They still won't take cash. I told them I wish they would take cash for small purchases, because I don't like using plastic for purchases of less than ten dollars. The DMV here won't take cash for applications for personalized license plates. I showed the clerk what it says on the currency and she just repeated that she couldn't take cash for that. I also kind of resent credit cards (even though I use my Visa card all the time) because the credit card trail it leaves is a component of the Big Brother society. If I ever want to go on the lam, I'd like to be able to take a lot of cash with me and not have to leave a trail that's easy to follow. (Not that that's likely ever to happen, of course.) I think everybody should take cash.
