Bunch of places near my work don't accept cash anymore (seems recent as of a year or so ago). Card only, no checks either.

I was curious how this was legal, but it looks like they're only required to accept cash as payment for debt. As long as no service is provided before you pay then it's legal to refuse cash.

Yes. Cash is only required to work for paying debt. The store can request whatever payment method they want.
