The quick-service restaurant (QSR) started accepting cash after Amazon confirmed it would take cash payments in all of its previously cashless Amazon Go stores. Although it’s true some restaurants might have done away with cash, some cities and states have banned cashless restaurants and stores because of discrimination against unbanked customers who rely on cash.
