Bluestone, which now has 20 stores in the U.S., went cashless last October.
A big reason: Nearly 90 percent of customers [...] never paid in cash.
Another reason: The lines move faster when employees don't have to make change.
"We see a lot of guests that pay for a meal with a credit card, but will always leave a cash tip. And I think people like doing that. People like palming a bartender a $20 or palming their server a $10. Palming the bus boy a couple bucks," said Fileccia.
There are also people, he said, who want to keep their meal off the books — if they're having an affair, for example.

Ah, yes, won't someone think of the children?
To answer this childish (lol) hyperbole I pose an answer: sheep. Get one, take out its vital bits, process its pancreas into insulin and eat the rest of the critter. See, now you both have insulin for your child *and* you can feed the family. You can extract around 2000 units of insulin per kg of pancreas.
If you don't like sheep, can't get them or are out of mint sauce you can also use pig or cow pancreas.
