Payment Policies and Legal Requirements
Analyze the following scenario: A coffee shop has a large, clearly visible sign at its entrance stating, 'Card and Mobile Payments Only. No Cash Accepted.' A customer orders a latte, and when the barista presents the drink, the customer offers to pay with a government-issued banknote. The barista politely declines the cash, pointing to the sign. The customer insists the shop must accept the banknote because it is an official, government-declared means of payment. Is the coffee shop legally correct in refusing the cash payment in this specific situation? Explain your reasoning.
