Tijuana Kentucky Fried Chicken Stops Accepting U.S. Dollars

The Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet on Avenida Revolución recently posted a sign on its door stating that it will no longer accept dollars in cash for any of its chicken dishes. (They'll accept dollars only if one is paying by credit card.)

The store's posting of the notice (replete with a logo featuring Colonel Sanders) indicates that the outlet has succumbed to the dollar restrictions now in effect in the border city. Guards posted at the door explained the situation to would-be KFC customers.

This is the first store of any kind where this reporter has seen such a notice since the restrictions on dollars in Tijuana began about a month ago; many businesses continue to accept U.S. currency.
