That’s not really relevant here yet. GP doesnt have a “debt” before the transaction takes place. Nothing about that statement forces a business to do business with you. They are perfectly within their rights to only agree to do business with you if you pay in chickens.

That isn’t how holding a business license works.

Sure everybody has the right to refuse service, but they can’t offer service only through one means of pay.

  Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?
  
  There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
  
  A few states have introduced bills to require taking cash (Idaho, Mississippi and North Dakota), but as far as im aware none have ever actually passed into law.

    I think you would be surprised how many states already have laws like that on the books. Mine does.
