yeah, a shop near me started accepting cash again after being cashless for a while.
why?
because their staff were being abused by a few people.
now it takes them more time (read: costs them more money) to count and sort the money, and they have to store it, which isn't safe, so they need to spend more money on security. Oh, and banks aren't open outside business hours, so someone needs to leave the shop to deposit money (which takes time and fuel, both costing money).
Suffice to say, they are unhappy about using cash again.
