Is Apple inviting a lawsuit?

According to Engadget, Apple is refusing to take cash for iPhone purchases. They claim that you have to pay by debit or credit card, even though the service activation doesn’t occur in the store. This move is apparently designed to prevent illegal resellers from hoarding the phones and unlocking them for new customers. Can a company like Apple legally refuse cash? Seems like the next likely lawsuit in the whole Apple iPhone saga.

UPDATE- It appears that Apple is also refusing to take their own gift cards for iPhones. Terrible customer relations if you ask me.
