Some of you all live in some very strange places. I can't think of a single retail establishment anywhere in the pacific northwest, rural or urban, that doesn't take cash, I've never heard of or encountered such a thing. I not infrequently see people pay a tab of several hundred dollars in cash at Costco.
I did encounter an insurance office once not letting me pay a premium due in cash (there were issues with my checking account I was sorting out). I was annoyed but it was understandable as professional offices typically don't maintain a cash drawer, I simply had to get a cashiers check from my bank. While I don't use their services hardly ever I think hotels and car rental companies usually require a debit or credit card (which affords them some security) but I've never known a food vendor to not take cash.

The video wouldn't work for me, but this is clearly not in the United States. So what did he do, just walk out and tell them to send him a bill?

He placed the exact change in coins on the counter, said he is leaving the exact amount of legal tender owed for his strawberries, and walked out as they tried to block his way while offering verbal protests.

Which all means that before countries can switch completely to CBDC’s, they first need to change their laws making cash legal tender for all debts.
But doing so forthrightly would engender large scale instability and revolt.
So there needs to be another pretext for doing so:
Deficit spending, derivatives, inflation, etc. to devalue the fiat currencies, moving instead toward social credit, UBI, etc.
All a step en route toward universal enslavement.

Oh, how clever. So they probably can't prosecute him for shoplifting, since he paid for the stuff. I wonder how this would be handled.

I couldn’t watch this without registering, but I have definitely run into businesses that don’t take cash. I also know of a restaurant that takes only cash!

There are a lot of little ways to attack this. They've already been having "cash shortages." Years ago they removed the larger dollar bill denominations for "fighting drug crime." There are also the laws surrounding "fighting drugs," which just happen to work for the purpose of eliminating cash, too. If we see further closure of stores, they might increasingly require online sales and delivery only. This is happen to some degree in the big cities, and these same people have willingly been moving digital already, so it's an easy transition to make there. Stores might require QR codes for entry due to another event, such as Lockdowns 2.0 or martial law because of Right-Wing terrorism.
All of these things are happening in small ways, but we are missing the big event. It might tie into the inflation and an eventual economic event, but the wealth consolidation is moving along just fine so far. Those of us who earn a wage are the ones suffering the most.

Dollar general only takes cards. I walked out and left the stuff.

Definitely the way to go: choose one small item and have the exact money, no need for change. That man did something great! You cn hear clapping in the background.

Good for you, Viva! That meant more work for them, having to put it all back on shelves.

Really? Where is this?

As I commented in reply #2, "Some of you all live in some very strange places".

This sounded unrealistic to me. I had never been to a Dollar General but knew they were around, so this morning I stopped by the one in Pasco, Washington to check it out. They most defiantly take cash.
Here is the pacific northwest, with the exception of some professional offices that don't usually deal in cash and don't maintain a till, I know of no commerce which can't be accomplished with cash. At the funeral home I work for cash payments are accepted, though we don't maintain a cash till so exact change works best. There are a lot of vendors, such as food trucks and growers at the farmers markets, who don't take cards, but EVERYONE takes cash.

Now the self check out at Whole Foods just became credit card only recently.
( I have used credit cards. It’s really loan sharking. It’s best using cash.).
Dollar general ticked me off. They are moving fast to cashless society.

The dollar general near my house takes cash and has cashiers. But the other one doesn’t. It’s all self check out and credit card only.
