Description
A King County councilmember proposed required businesses in the unincorporated parts of the county to accept cash. The move is intended to make sure everyone can buy what they need.
Dong Thap Noodles has been in the Chinatown International District for nearly a decade. In the last three years, its been a victim of multiple break-ins.
Bui said it’s hurt business, “It’s been tough and our sales have been down 30%, but it’s gotten a little bit better.”
Break-ins have led multiple other businesses across Seattle and King County to go cashless, but for Bui that’s something his business won’t do.
“Most of our customers in this area don't have access to credit cards and what can we do if they don't have credit cards. We take cash and will continue to take cash,” Bui said.
