I seem to remember some law preventing businesses from refusing cash for a sale.


It's a very common misconception in the US that businesses are obligated to accept cash for a sale [1].

Also, when people say they're paying "cash" for a car they don't necessarily mean they're walking in with a stack of hundred-dollar bills. "Cash" often means cashier's check, etc. - the idea is that you're not borrowing money to buy the car.
