Are there any other businesses in The Villages with that policy?

Covid has everything to do with it. It wasn't until Covid came around that I started seeing business not wanting to take cash. Part of it was the coin shortage we had during Covid. Businesses started doing card payments only and it seems for many of them that they ended up liking dealing with cards over cash. It certainly is a lot safer since a business owner isn't walking around with a bag of cash to deposit.
