i wasn't always told that at the store level. i went to 757 market street and was told cash was not accepted. my next stop was the amazon go store at 300 california street. this amazon go store does accept cash and here is your proof. i bought this sandwich. you go in, there are no signs saying they accept cash, but if you tell them then they go get a cell phone, they have an app on it and let you into the store and you shop at your leisure then when you got your items and you go to pay, they have a tiny area to the left and that's where you pay. it is easy, staff friendly but i saw no signs saying cash is accepted. supervisor valley brown introduced the legislation and keeping track of how it's implemented. >> i would love for them to do some kind of marketing campaign saying we take cash now and maybe we need to reach out to them and let them know that. >> reporter: another big cashless player is sweet green.

communication with amazon despite the original statement and by the way, they said in effect until tomorrow. now i want to hear from you like i just said. you can contact me through the 7 on your side hot line monday through friday from 10:00 to 2:00. that number is 410-954-8151. you can also reach me on my facebook page and abc7news.com. by this way, this isn't a state law, only the city of san francisco. so if you see it here, let me know. >> cash isn't king but it's got a roll. thanks. >> we want one last check on our weather. >> spencer christian tracking a warmup for us. >> quite a warmup. michael talked about it. it will be less hot than inland. overnight we'll see a little fog at the coast and high clouds and overnight lows in the mid 60s. so pretty mild overnight. then tomorrow notice how warm to hot it will be from the bay where highs will be in the mid 80s to inland. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. we'll be in a rather steady

pattern with the exception of sunday and monday where it gets hotter with highs in the upper 90s and mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline and highs above 70 and coastal locations. but then temperatures settle back into a more typical summertime pattern mid-90s inland and mid 60s on the coast. nice weather. a little warm but nice. >> still summer. thanks. giants on the road. >> yeah, larry beil is here. >> trying to keep their wild card hopes alive in chicago. trying to catch the cubs in the standings and beating them tonight at wiggley will help. sports next.
