Believe it or not, but there are older people who don't use cell phones or have credit cards. You have effectively blocked them out. I rarely use cash as I collect travel points on my VISA, but I think this is a dumb move. I don't buy the whole "covid" thing either as there are still hundreds of touch points all over the arena.

Money is dirty and gross and slower to pay with and less safe to handle.
And I'm sure they know how much of their transactions are currently not cash and how they will manage the risk of losing any of that.
But this is a decision that more businesses will make.
Nothing dumb about it.
