Last spring when this covid bs first got really crazy, I went to Rona for lumber and a chainsaw. (North Vancouver) The lumber area lady had made a sign by hand saying “no cash” I guess because she didn’t want to touch it.. even though she was wearing gloves. I went inside to get the battery chainsaw and looked all over for a cart. Their staff had hidden the carts and told me they’re off limits.. baskets too. I guess they didn’t want to have to clean them after? So I went outside and around the back to find the cart and went back in. While grabbing the chainsaw I changed my mind, didn’t want to give them my business. I called head office to complain but couldn’t get anywhere. I was asking about a Rona policy on taking cash. They pretty much said their staff are scared. Rona got back to normal by summer but their staff were running them into the ground at first.

Nanaimo Taco Bell also had a “no cash” sign for this reason last spring. I’ve been terrified that the news might start running stories that cash carries covid.

I was not able to find anything legal online about businesses having to take cash. Have you guys found anything? It seems it’s up to the business... is there a law I can bring in to demand they take my cash?
