I hate that food shops like sweetgreen are cashless, just because the they can’t trust their tellers is not a reason to outright refuse the ability to purchase.

I'm perfectly capable of operating in a cashless society, but I also absolutely do NOT want to operate in it.
Without cash, you are operating in a "social credit" society, and those of us on HN can clearly see the problems with that.
Except in SF, Berkeley, NYC and other US cities that mandate cash acceptance.
> The Sweetgreen fast-casual chain is dropping its cashless-only payments policy, saying the operational benefits are outweighed by the “unintended consequence” of some consumers being unable to become customers. All 94 branches of the salad chain will resume accepting cash by the end of the year, the brand said in a blog installment posted Thursday.
