Los Angeles could join other cities and states in banning cashless businesses. A councilwoman wants to ban the practice, something San Francisco and New York City have already done. It comes as more businesses in the area are opting for cashless payments like credit cards or digital payments through apps. Those options, businesses say, make the purchasing process more efficient and safe, the Los Angeles Times reported. Her motion calls for the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting cashless businesses.
