&ldquo;The purpose of this [law] is to ensure that all City residents&mdash;including those who lack access to other forms of payment&mdash;are able to participate in the City&rsquo;s economic life by paying cash for goods and many services,&quot; the San Francisco bill states, according to The Hill. 
 
The conversation around prohibiting&nbsp;no-cash policies is getting louder at every level,&nbsp;from states to cities to individual brands. As a refresher, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/new-jersey-is-the-latest-state-to-ban-cashless-stores-and-restaurants-2709457" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">New Jersey</a> passed a similar law in March, while salad chain <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sweetgreen-reverses-no-cash-policy-2709791" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Sweetgreen</a> walked back its two-year cashless policy last month. 
 
The Hill notes that several businesses in San Francisco&rsquo;s more upscale neighborhoods currently have cashless policies which would require reversal. The article adds that the bill would exempt temporary pop-up stores, rideshare companies, online businesses, and food trucks that claim to not have the capacity to accept cash.
