I bring up the state because Quebec is introducing new cash registers cracking down on restaurants for tax evasion. We're moving towards more and more a no-cash economy where the state will be able to control consumer spending on a whim.
Part of the perks and charm of finding your favorite spot was because you could pay "cash" and maybe get that free espresso or drink. Think of Heriod mentioned above. But keep those funds rolling to corporate bums! Say how much you love small businesses and then - WHACK! - baseball bat to the head.
All this from a government that deals and profits off our most vicious vices: Alcohol and gambling.
