I wonder how Cornell plans on dealing with the new Cash laws that start on March 20th?

Not a big deal for Hockey but it does force some things to happen for Lax season.

If you provide services like food and it cost less than $20 you have to allow for it to be purchased with cash, or provide ATMs that would take cash and give back fee less cards that don't expire.

The other part is that you cant offer a cash vs CC rate.

Odds the MVP Arena will accept cash for food offerings during the Hockey Regionals?

Or a certain arena in Buffalo?
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

Ooh. Yeah it would get a little dicey. I guess it's going to be "mostly cashless" still, and they're going to emphasize using card and BRBs and all, but whoever pays cash is still going to have the cashiers open their registers.

Some people don't have other means of payment besides cash.

Especially low-income people who cannot afford to open a credit card (or a debit card for that matter).

in particular, the laws were passed in part to combat the belief that, under the guise of security, certain establishments use exclusively cashless payment to exclude those of limited means for vibe-based reasons.
