You are right about the fact that businesses are not legally obligated to accept cash. I was wrong on that.
As for e-payment not working, it happened to me at least 3 times since last year, and it fucking sucks.
I don't like to walk with a lot of cash on me, but if I know that there is a outage of payment systems, I can at least use the cash I keep at home to pay for my basic needs.
More options is good in any case. We are already tracked enough as it is, so I understand people that want to use cash.
Wow, I see. I would not have estimated that many.
