Legislate against shops to stop them refusing cash payments.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

If we allow shops and other places to refuse cash then we are moving to a cashless society which allows your every transaction to be monitored and eventually controlled. Any establishment that refuses to take legal cash money should be legally stopped from doing so.

Ensure cash remains a trading commodity for the future.
