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.
No, businesses are not required to accept cash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_tender

If an employer cannot pay a livable wage they should not be allowed to operate their business. Either their business is not worth having around, or they are so bad at it someone else should take over their customers.

FDR is dead and your 20th century New Deal fantasy is dead. We live in the 21st century now when social media tech bros are billionaires and selfish sacks of rotting pigshit like Buzzard are mighty successful.
The Great Depression is repeating and the Gilded Age is repeating and stupid shit like Buzzard is too stupid to notice.
Morons like Buzzard learned nothing from history. Buzzard wouldn't learn his lesson if he received a railroad spike through his worthless skull.
So fuck you because Buzzard got his.

If you can't make more than your employer would pay you for waiting tables off of tips, absolutely fuck you. Your dumb ass just failed at smiling and keeping glasses from running empty. If I can do a job involving constant interaction with other people well, anyone can do that job well if they make even a miniscule effort to.

Let me get this straight... It's perfectly fine for wait staff to be paid less than they make now so long as the money passes through the employer's hands on the way to theirs? You are a fucking moron and an asshole.

That's not at all what was said. How did you read that? Did you skip a couple of words?

That is exactly what you said.
A) Competent wait staff always make more than the employer thinks they should.
B) The only difference between the customer paying them and adding it to the price then having the employer pay them is the extra step.
But lets be real clear here. You don't give a shit about any of that. What you care about is that wait staff that can't be arsed to even half-ass it don't make a livable wage while those that work hard make out quite nicely. It's nothing but democracy, asshat. One customer, one vote. Your notions though? I've heard something like them before... What was it? Something like "From each according to his ability. To each according to his greed." wasn't it?
