Assume you go there for a cookie. They give you a cookie and you take a bite out of it. They say it costs $3 and you offer them $3 in cash. Do they have to accept it?

On my money it says something like "legal tender for all debts". Does that mean the business owner has to accept the cash or can they call the police and have me arrested for stealing the cookie?
