As a Philadelphian, I find this odd and backwards. It’s cash only stores (Chinese food stores, corner stores, etc) that are annoying to me since I almost never have cash on hand and prefer to pay with my card. Plus I’m sure the city is bringing in far less tax revenue from cash only stores than a cashless store since there’s no paper trail with cash.

However, I am aware Philadelphia is a poor city, with around a 20% unemployment rate so, and many unbanked/underbanked ppl I can see the other side.

Exactly this. This is why cash is good. Anonymity.

Enjoy it while it still exists.
