Are cashiers required to accept any legal tender? Can they not just refuse to deal with it because it would be obnoxious?

Do cashiers typically deal in debt repayment?

I recall waiting in line to pay the light bill, at a customer service center. I then found out about local party and grocery stores that cashed checks also accepting bill payment. Being a broke college kid, we paid as much as we could at a time, trying to avoid disconnection.

I do not like being reminded of my age when reading posts/comments online 😂

That's basically all they deal in. You request food from a restaurant at an agreed upon price. You receive and eat the food. You now owe the restaurant money - you are in debt. You can pay the restaurant directly on the spot, or you can have your people pay their people by providing them your credit information.

If you pay before eating, then the restaurant is in debt until they have fulfilled their contract to provide your food.

The case could probably be made that to go orders paid on the spot do not have anyone incurring debt.
