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.

"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.

You would be arrested. They are refusing you the merchandise until you pay for it not refusing to accept payment for something you've already received. You only moved the goods around the store, you don't own them yet. You don't have a debt with the store until after they've allowed you to leave with the goods and they never allow the goods out of the store until you pay, so you must always pay first.
