You can't pay employees in crypto if it's made illegal to do so, so stores wouldn't actually accept it.
Sure you can. What makes you think just because a failing government says businesses can't accept something as currency that means they are all going to obey? Crypto can't be censored, they can only control the onramps. Once people get comfortable enough with crypto that they know how to send and receive to each other there will be no need to ever go back to fiat.
If such a scenario came to pass would you accept an enforced central bank digital currency just so you can go to the grocery store? Or would you find ways around it where the government doesn't have complete control over your finances?
