The farmers market in Portland went card-only last Saturday

I showed up with $60 in cash to buy my usual honey and veggies, but three different vendors turned me away because they only took tap or phone payments now. One old lady next to me couldn't buy anything because she didn't have a smartphone at all. Are we just okay with shutting out people who prefer or need to use cash?

Heard a shop near me started doing that and people were pissed.

Bet the card machine fees are killing their margins.
