A friend who lives in Pennsylvania just advised me that the Walmart in the small town of Cranberry, Pennsylvania now refuses to accept cash. This bears watching to see how far and fast it spreads. Pizza Hut has stopped accepting cash.

Wouldn't it seem that market share will be directed to those merchants who are willing to fill ALL the needs of their customers?

I can see Walmart not taking cash because they get paid before you take possession. At a restaurant, you take possession (eat) the food, thereby creating a debt. If they refuse to accept legal tender to settle that debt, then you are free to go.
I'm not saying forget what you lost.
I suppose there's a purpose in pain.
What we make of ourselves has a cost,
and it's paid every time we take hold of the reins.

You are free to go but without the items you wanted to purchase in your possession.

A little off topic but still in Wally World.
I ordered online an item from a "Marketplace Retailer" named Extreme Sales.
The package was delivered to my door but I noticed an Amazon truck and the delivery person had a Amazon delivery person uniform. I opened the package and was surprised to see it was my Walmart order. The item was not as described so I called the Walmart 800 number and got them to initiate a refund request for me to the seller. I did receive the credit / refund and was told to keep the box of wrong bags. I also stressed to the person on the phone for Walmart that I thought it was very odd that their competitor was delivering the item to me.
Everyone should order a nice large order of a big pizza meal, eat it, and then claim that you did not realize they did not accept payment in cash. Also tell them if they ask that you do not have checks to pay with. State you never heard of a store not accepting cash and tell them that is all you have. Do that often and everywhere for free meals. That is the most wise use of your oppressed and depressed income at this time. Since these restaurants are about to go out of business anyway, they might not appreciate big losses and may discontinue the illegal rule to not accept legal tender. Depending on the situation, you decide whether to tip the waiter in cash or at all. In my state, they have just closed down, again, in-door seated service in restaurants so eating first and not paying after eating is not an option.
Also because of a purported "coin shortage now" Some places have a large jar of coins on the counter and you can pay with a currency bill that requires coin change, ask them before you hand over the bill if you can take your full change from the jar. See if that might benefit you.
For about three years I have noticed that people who come to your home and perform service work around the house will not allow you to pay the service worker in cash.
Fill your cart up with perishables and leave it when they say 'no cash'. "Okay, no cash, no carry."

"Either you have the right to own property, or you are property." Wayne Hage
Use means you can use something for your own survival and return it undamaged. This doesn't work so well with food.
Usufruct means the above with the added element that you can enjoy it
A debt instrument is incapable of transferring ownership. Walmart does not own the stuff you leave with and you can't own it because you paid cash for it. Cash or plastic ...neither transfer ownership.
This is the landscape you are dealing with these days. Communism dictates the system when there is no private property. If you don't like it you can change it but you cannot make this decision for others.

food or water or air or land to dwell on
so maybe those things that cannot be returned unaltered are things every human being is entitled to
and maybe those are things we of good intentions should be good stewards of
because their Owner and Creator is not a party to the original transaction.

Maybe the Federal Reserve that turned our Constitutional money into debt instruments was just another ramification of the anti-Logos principles that gave us capitalism (state sponsored usury) and socialism and national socialism and nationalism and communism.

Food .. hunter gatherer or rely upon market
Water...nobody EVER owns water
Air...nobody EVER owns air
Land ... By this meant volume or space. We all occupy it but it is not something you can own.
