LOL I'm almost rooting for the hackers here. I can't stand the way cash is being removed from society.
I say "almost" because ordinary people may have got hurt here which is not good.
New York State has a law (March 21, 2026) which requires merchants to accept cash, up to $20 bills (not required to accept $50's or $100's); so not everything is cashless yet, but hotel reservations usually are. Other states have no such law and people without debit/credit cards are noticing a societal shift away from cash at a fast pace. I ran into a cashless BJ's self-checkout the other day, they switched them all over on Sept. 1st, 2026. If I want to pay cash, I have to get in line at one of their 20 empty registered lines.
Exceptions
Large Bills: Stores are not required to accept bills over $20.
Remote Transactions: Cash is not required for orders made by phone, mail, or online unless the transaction occurs on-site.
Cash-to-Card Devices: Stores may provide devices that convert cash into prepaid cards, provided no fees are charged, the minimum deposit is $1 or less, and balances do not expire.
This law mirrors New York City’s cash acceptance ordinance from 2020 but extends the requirement statewide, reinforcing cash as a protected payment option in an increasingly digital economy.
