I’m not really sure how I feel about this..
On the one hand if they are spending more than they take in to handle cash, that’s obviously broken, so the move is logical.. but aren’t there alternatives that don’t disadvantage people who don’t have plastic options for whatever reason?
Like idk, making them free to enter and paid for entirely by business taxes or something, the way they should be? I realize they are basically self-funding a lot of what they do by charging admission, but that is still an unfair barrier on public enjoyment of a public good. And so unnecessary.
