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.

    https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

    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 I'm aware none have ever actually passed into law.
