In a recent incident at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, a tourist attempted to pay for a burger using cash but was refused service. The establishment only accepted card payments and electronic wallets, igniting a debate over the legality of such practices.
This situation has brought to light the ongoing discussions surrounding legal tender laws, particularly in regions where cash usage is declining.
As more businesses adopt cashless payment systems, the question arises: can consumers insist on paying with cash, and what are their rights in such scenarios?
