We have a local business that is stuffing flyers in mailboxes. It is considered mail fraud and definitely illegal. But, the US Post Office as a matter of course does nothing to enforce the law.

I don't know if it's the same in the US, but in British law, when you buy something in a store, the legal situation is that you're making the store an offer for the goods, which they are free to accept or decline as they wish, so that's what gives them the option of whether or not to accept cash.
