Less than they should be. In the last week I've been told "we are cashless" by three separate locations in Seattle. This is objectively asinine and I tell them as much. Because using cards is "seamless," most people opt for that over cash. Cards don't mean credit. Often it's debited from your bank. Usually there's an added transaction fee, which is why it's so common. A $1 fee is accepted by most people as nominal. Rinse, wash, repeat millions of times per day, financial institutions are raking it in.

    U.S. dollars literally say "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." That sounds to me like a cashless business should be illegal.
