I guess it comes down to whether they believe it will lower their costs, I mean if you currently are paying armed guards to pick up cash and paying staff $25 an hour to count cash and sort floats etc, it might be well worth refusing cash, especially because almost everyone has cards these days.I actually see people that charge surcharges on cards or have minimum spends for cards as being bigger road blocks to customers, but they seem to still sell ok.I have noticed Coles and woolies steadily reducing the number of self checkouts that accept cash, I found myself with a bunch of cash I wanted to get rid of a couple of months back after selling some stuff, and found it hard to use the cash at Coles because the one self checkout that accepted cash always had a line, so I kept using the card instead.
