Cashless businesses are excluding millions of Americans without bank accounts, consumer advocates say.
New York City native Brett David, 39, prefers to pay only in cash. “I never leave my house without at least $100 cash on me, and if I’m splitting a bill with one or two other people, I’ll use cash whenever possible,” David, a creative director at Rochelle’s bar in New York City, said.
The city of Philadelphia was the first city to follow in Massachusetts’ footsteps earlier this year. New Jersey then introduced a similar policy mandating that stores must accept the greenback. New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres is also trying to ban cashless stores. “Ultimately, we have realized that while being cashless has advantages, today it is not the right solution to fulfill our mission. To accomplish our mission, everyone in the community needs to have access to real food,” it added.
On Monday, the Sweetgreen location on Wall Street was still not accepting cash. Madeline Norling-Christensen, a spokeswoman for Sweetgreen, said the company will start accepting cash again starting in Philadelphia on July 1, and at all other locations by the end of the year.
