Safeway review: Illegal refusal to accept US currency!

I went to the Safeway gas station located on Missouri Flat Rd in Placerville, CA; on 12/27/2021 about 8:50 pm. I had cash and needed to get gas in a couple of gas cans for my generator, because my electricity was out due to the recent snowstorm. The attendant in the gas station refused to take my cash for gas! She said "sorry, I'm not taking any more cash today". I never took the cans out of my trunk, for all she knew I was about to run out of gas! What if I was running out of gas! Thank god I wasn't or else I would have been stuck at the gas station like a desperate sad sole! What the hell! REFUSING TO TAKE US CURRENCY IN THE UNITED STATES IS AGAINST THE LAW! Why is my cash not good enough to make a purchase? When did the United States of America become China or Cananda? Seriously was I supposed to drive across the street to an ATM, put the cash in the bank then drive back to the gas station to use my f..ing card? Bull f...ing [censored]! That makes not sense! I went up the freeway to another gas station, AMPM! They took my cash! And they were on a generator themselves to serve gas! Safeway had electricity, leaving them no excuse! So you know Safeway is NOT the only gas station or grocery store in my area! Today I went to Raley's to buy food! I will be contacting my local district attorney to make a complaint about the ILLEGAL REFUSAL TO ACCESP US CURRENCY AT YOUR STORE! I would suggest you fix the issue with your employees before you get sued! Oh, and while you are at it, why do all of your self-serve CASH registers refuse to take CASH now? Raley's self-serve CASH registers all take CASH! Stop pushing us towards a cashless [censored] crypto market, we aren't going to go! I love my physical money and will not be giving it up, so you rich p.o. s can take that to the bank and stick it up your assets!
