This was definitely a meme going around during covid as more places were going cashless

In real life there's not a lot of cases where someone gives you goods before you pay, and anywhere i've been to that don't accept cash clearly posts "this is a cashless business" (sweetgreen and the like, SF/NYC, YMMV) so good luck making the argument that you're entitled to your free salad

Yeah, as I said if the buyer makes a good faith payment in cash and if the seller didn't inform him beforehand they don't take cash then the onus is presumably on the seller to take it or leave it because the buyer is willing to do his part and make the pie whole.

Usually this isn't a problem because "We don't take cash." signs are prominently posted, but we are speaking in the hypothetical after all.
