    if that’s even technically legal as cash literally says legal tender for all debts public and private.

    I’m guessing one could argue the right to refuse service to those not using their preferred kind of payment.

      That’s correct. Legal tender can be used to settle all debts. In a retail transaction there’s no debt until a purchase agreement is made, so they can refuse cash before the agrrement.
