Are restaurants or other places that take cash only also discriminating? Are places that don't accept checks discriminating?

As with most of this thread, it is very biased to assume that a) we are only talking about the USandA and b) that there is banking equality. Again, just try to tell that to the poorer communities.
Amazon would do well to service all people, and not insisting on harvesting credit cards for access to free content is one of the ways to start.
