If a place doesn’t accept credit cards, I leave also. I just don’t carry cash anymore. To each their own.

They mostly do it for safety reasons. Being a target for being robbed for drug money just gets annoying after awhile. Getting rid of cash gets rid of that risk. They might lose some customers, but losing workers to stress about being robbed is a bigger problem these days.

It also costs money to handle cash. You have to count it at the end of the shift. And store it. And transport it to a bank to deposit it, which takes time ($$) and resources (gas, etc)

I also expect banks charge larger businesses that deal with a lot of cash for the privilege of getting the bank to handle that cash for them.
