Wow! I'm a bit confused as to how a store can not accept "legal tender"!

Unless there's a state law (as in NY, CA and several others) specifying that retailers MUST accept cash (with a few exceptions), stores can choose their terms of payment. We eventually stopped accepting checks because I got tired of the rigamarole of chasing down bad ones. We accepted Visa, MC and cash only. No debit cards, no checks, no AmEx or Discover.

Ummmm.....ok.

Excuse me for not understanding. I thought Federal government was higher than State government. Our money is issued by the Federal government.

I'm not doubting you....this just baffles me.

same here.. in fact not only can shops dictate what payment method they will accept...they don't even have to sell anything to you at all if they choose not to...that's the law...
 
This morning around 8am, I called company I Got Junk made an appt for 9am. The 2 guys came& took stuff I don't want or need anymore small furniture items, pots/pans mostly everything in my locker down in the basement. The 2 guys were very nice were finished within 20 min. They mentioned that some of the things they will donate locally. This is one thing less thing I don;t have to worry about. I had a clearer path to vacuum the bedroom

This must be very exciting for you, Sue. I hope everything else goes as smoothly. It's nice to know those guys will be donating things!

I'm looking forward to more updates on your move. I love to hear about fresh starts!

I think I recall you saying you won't be moving too far from your friend Marcia. So, I'm hoping they won't miss you too much, especially Tage.

Same here. Most stores post signs saying, "We reserve the right to refuse services to anyone." As long as it's not based on gender, race, religion, se*ual preference or similar biases, it's perfectly legal to refuse serving them. We had a handful of people we refused to sell to because they'd been so abusive to our staff. They had to place orders online and have them shipped or pick them up at the school front office. No direct contact. Believe me, those who were difficult for us were equally difficult for school administrators.

Serial returners who shop for entertainment then return 90% of what they bought also made us crazy. Eventually we started stamping their orders, "Due to excessive returns, items returned on this order will be subject to 25% restocking fees."

Time is money in a retail establishment, and these folks sucked up our employees' time during purchasing and returning. We knew as soon as they entered the door that nearly everything they bought would be coming back. When we added that policy they got peeved but stopped the nonsense.

Amazon and other stores likewise have penalties for serial returners.

We are going to This lady's funeral tomorrow. Through the tears, love & laughter and bright colours will prevail. Click on the link and see the order of service. We shall all be wearing Hawaiian Leis, that's those garland of flowers worn around the neck. It's going to be some day, the deceased lady was much loved, her loss to the wretched cancer is still raw, I'll leave it there.

Your friend, Annie, seems to have been an exceptional person @horseless carriage
Some people live their life "large", and truly make an impression.
Celebrate her life, as she would want.
🤗
