Cajun Field going cashless... NOT

[fanof71]

I’ve been to an MLB game where I could put a cc onto a scannable wristband. Want to buy something they scanned the band and away I went. It was really easy to overspend!

Those were used during Festival International...and no, I don't want to leave you a tip for reaching your hand into ice water to grab me a coke zero...

Wrong, cash is legal tender…for everyone. A dollar is a dollar, but the new world order love people that think like you. Call the cops and tell them I stole something with cash in hand ready to pay, see how that works out

First off I don't agree with private businesses not accepting cash and I would definitely back a law in Louisiana requiring businesses to accept cash. However....

From the Federal Reserve's website

Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

And, I'm sure they'll have the 80,000 armed new IRS employees to enforce it.... just as soon as the IRS agents have finished intimidating all of the little ol' ladies from Ipanema.... (sarcasm off).

If that was a criteria, this site would be down to seven and a half pages.

Haha! This guy gets it!

I am sure the little old lady from Pasadena and her shiny red super stock Dodge are in street racing heaven..

As a parent of young kids, I can say…if your kid isn’t old enough to be trusted with your card for a few minutes, then maybe they aren’t old enough to wander around the concession area by themselves.

You hit the freakin’ bullseye here, BFH.
