From what I've observed, a tiny fraction have left because of the no-cash policy, probably under 1%. We were expecting 5% to 10% in the first weeks, since customers that walked in for the very first time wouldn't have known of the policy.

From the ones that left, most said they didn't have a card on them at the time and they'd return another time, but we did get a couple of people that did leave because they didn't agree to the policy.

Interesting. Cash handling costs are 5% to 15% https://www.ihlservices.com/product/costofcash/

This makes going cash free a pretty smart choice.
