But if I'm operating one of those stores and I say "No, I won't accept that cash in exchange for that bottle of tap water" then no debt exists because no contract was created.

A price tag also doesn't imply cash or a fixed price. You can always still barter and haggle.
I do wonder how stuff like VAT works when bartering though.

Those are old. Pennies are legal tender in this country, but not more than twenty of them; if somebody tenders twenty‑one pennies, you are allowed to refuse them. It has been like that for as long as I can remember.Tim Moores wrote:. . . There are already all kinds of limits in lots of places for using many small coins . . .
They tried to abolish cheques in this country about four years ago and there were so many complaints from customers. Of course it has always been legal to refuse a cheque. Most tradesmen reuse cheques because it takes so long to go to the bank to pay them in. We have our friendly neighbourhood builder's and plumber's bank account numbers programmed into our Internet banking.I never under understood why the US is so behind is getting rid of checks - they feel like something from 19th century.

The fact that a store puts an item for sale with a price tag coupled with the fact that the customer picks it up and approaches the cash(?) register, creates an implied contract.
Wendy Gibbons wrote:In the UK this also covers incorrectly priced items. if you see a 10ct diamond ring priced at £25.00, the shop doesn't have to sell it, it can refuse the sale.
The nearer you are to the border, the more likely they are to accept Scottish notes. Where I am, about 100 miles from the nearest part of the border, Scottish notes are usually accepted. If I go to London, I don't even think of taking Scottish money with me.Paul Clapham wrote:. . . in the UK it's also legal to refuse to accept Scottish bank notes . . .
