You get one clue. I suggested a restaurant. He shot it down because “They won’t take cash, and I won’t eat in a restaurant that doesn’t take cash!”

OK, one more hint. It wasn’t @cnncoins .

    It's increasingly common in urban areas, and the pandemic may have accelerated the trend.

    Tropicana Field, where the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team plays, accepts no cash, it is credit cards only. The only cash that is accepted is Kevin Cash, the manager of the team.

    That is an obliquely astute guess -- especially since Andy didn't say that the guest was going to pay for part or all of the meal,

    I was going to guess Fred W. also, only because he even tips the garbage man with cash, or gold, or whatever he has lying around :p

    Another point I can agree with the good Col. Jessup on.... If they don't take cash, I do not eat there.... I bet the waitress/waiter would take a cash tip.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    You are in the northeast, and Col Jessup (Rick Sears) also. How is he doing? He used to be ubiquitous at coin shows.

    Cash is filthy stuff, I touch it, I immediately wash my hands - I was that way decades B4 covid.......... Credit cards are not too far behind in the germs they carry, but easier to sanitize, preferred........

    Or smelled 😂

    I met Mr Sears at a FUN show in either 2007 or 2009 and he was dishing the insider doings at that time to another dealer with whom I was reviewing a Conder token. I remember the good colonel as being as animated then as his reputation on this board is now. I wish he’d come back here and unmute himself.

    He's a good guy. He told me awhile ago he had some health issues and was retiring from coin dealing, and pretty much disappeared. Haven't heard from him since. Glad he's keeping in touch with Andy.

    The good Colonel still reads the forum, and leaves the occasional "like" or "LOL". It's nice to know he hasn't completely abandoned us. :)

    I think every place in Newark airport terminal doesn’t accept cash.....at least every restaurant in the United terminals.
    Also Teavana doesn’t accept cash at any of their locations.
    Crazy!
