These days with Square virtually everywhere, I come across fewer and fewer cash only businesses.
I feel that the places that have minimums and/or charge extra are a bigger problem now. Granted, they're still not that common yet but I run into them on occasion. When I do, though, I pay cash and tend not to go back (unless, of course, the food makes it worth the hassle).
