It just seems to defeat the purpose of legal tender if you can choose to or not to take it. A check, a card - not legal tender, and therefore it seems acceptable (albeit not a good business decision) to not take it. But cold hard cash? With the cheap ability to print decent looking money today, lots of places get burned with fake $10 and $20 bills as well. Especially since most places don't use the marker to "check" for valid tens and twenties. All it takes is a little $1.95 marker to make sure the bill is legit (within reason). I don't get it... :-/
