"This is a cashless restaurant." "This is a cash-free establishment."

This scenario seems to be playing out more and more throughout our country. Some businesses started going cashless nearly a decade ago, but with today's uncertain conditions, more and more restaurants and storefronts are asking customers to "remember to bring your credit card."
