What many food trucks do to get around this is to require a credit card to operate the touch screen terminal used to order. They won't even talk to you unless you have a card.

In this way they can avoid people paying in cash by never taking orders that might use cash.

Where are food trucks with touch screen terminals common? I've never seen one in NYC.

NYC passed a law recently that required businesses to accept cash.

Yes... the comment above is describing a way to evade such laws, used by food trucks. But I've never seen such that workaround in action, hence my question.
