> I'm opening a coffeeshop in Chicago and do not plan on accepting cash, just seems easier and safer to me.
But why ? For things like a coffee that's maybe $2, why should I, as a customer, possibly incur a fee from my bank for a $2 coffee? You as a business can do what you like, maybe you could just limit the max bill denomination to 20 or something.
I feel your limiting your customers options when not allowing cash. I know I personally would actively avoid a coffee shop like that.
If you're using a bank that charges you for making a $2 card transaction, then perhaps you should change bank. I feel that bank is limiting their customers options when doing that.
Lots of cafes etc here in London don't accept cash. Cash payment just slows everyone down when it's busy. It's orders of magnitude more faffing around especially when somebody decides to pay with a bunch of schrapnel and count it out coin by coin.
