It says right on the bills, "legal tender for all debts, public and private." Doesn't matter where you are in the US. You have to be willing to take cash.
Not true. Merchant does not need to provide service or product to you. At restaurant I am at now you must use credit / debit to pay before getting food. If a restaurant wants payment after you eat you are now in debt to them and cash is now able to be used. Specific states appear to have legislation to protect its citizens from this bullsh!t.

You must be talking about a fast food place with a window. If it is a restaurant where you are seated, I would never pay first. The experience, the mood, character, quality, tone, atmosphere all is eliminated. It's counterproductive.

True! We just need to stand up to them when they will not take cash.

So this restaurant you are at now requires you to pay for your meal up front?
It's called fast food. Barely qualifies as a restaurant.
Yes.

Mostly true. One might argue that if a contract is negotiated, a debt is incurred. But both are just splitting hairs, really.
The real irony is that the slip of paper used is, in fact, a unit of debt, itself. And the time is nearly come to pay the paper.
