If it is not a vessel for legal tender, why is it that i can pay my taxes by credit card?
A credit card and a debit card is just the vessel transporting the legal tender which is the US Dollar just like the cash in your pocket (fedreal reserve note) is the paper vessel of the US Tresuary to carry the legal tender which is the US Dollar. Once agin, your confusing the physcal way of producing that US Dollar with the actual US Dollar.
A credit card, a debit card, a check, a money order, a travelers check, and the paper and coins we call US Dollars, are just the means of producing payment of the legal tender.

Nope, I don't have to accept a credit card, a debit card, a check, a money order, a travelers check, as legal tender or to pay any dept.
Only cash.
It is a convenience extended to the customer as most credit cards charge the business owner a fee to accept them.
on the flip side some business only take credit cards as they don't want to handle cash.

Does no one see the oddity of using credit & debit cards, checks etc in place of real coin (cash) of the realm?
How many types of "money" will the public accept with no questions as to their real value?
Do we argue over forms of money that are not real money at all?
Since I'm strictly a "cash person" they would definitely lose MY business. I have to agree with the poster who wrote about the younger patrons. Good Lord, I hate to think of that many teenagers with cards!
If you rarely carry cash, why would this policy be a problem?
Is there really a huge threat of a robbery at the mall?
If it were something I really needed or wanted, I'd just pay by credit card and let them absorb the extra fee. If it were just an impulse buy, I'd probably walk out.
not just a robbery, but not accepting cash would stop employees stealing money, which happens often in the retail industry
