In this case maybe cash is a valid

Unless a state law prohibits cash pricing being lower than credit card
sales.


It may not make any difference to the customer but it may make a big
difference to the retailer's profit if the merchant charges on cards is
a lot more expensive than handling cash (extra security at the premises
and transporting cash to banks, employee theft etc.). This assumes a
transaction that is going through the books and not a 'cash in hand no
questions asked' transaction to avoid any taxes.
