Whats your opinion of airlines not accepting cash for onboard purchases. An Airline only accepting credit.?

Question

There is an article online that Alaska Airlines is no longer going to accept cash onbaord to buy snacks, meals or liquor.

Even though they will be joining other airlines who already have this policy whats your opinion? I feel that cahs is a lagel United States tender and should be accepted. Not everyone has or wants a credit or debit card.

Here is a copy of the article

Answer 1

Its silly. It would be next to impossible to rob them. I just get what I want before my flight and carry it on the airplane with me.
