I believe the law regarding payment of large tabs with
change is a state law in various states, undoubtedly another
product of the mercantile conspiracy that has given us lots
of extraneous holidays.  As far as them having to accept your
bills, I don't think there are any laws about that.  The only
reason that merchants don't kill you and eat you is not because
they are nice people; it's because they want your business
(sometimes), but not if it will cause them too much of a hassle.
