No person at any retail alcoholic beverage store in the city shall sell any spirits, beer or wine on credit; provided, that acceptance by a retail package store, grocery store, convenience store or drug store of a cash or debit card, or a nationally recognized credit card, in lieu of actual cash payment does not constitute the extension of credit.
B. As used in this section:
1. "Cash or debit card" means any instrument or device whether known as a cash or debit card or by any other name, issued with or without fee by an issuer for the use of the cardholder in depositing, obtaining or transferring funds from a consumer banking electronic facility.
2. "Nationally recognized credit card" means any instrument or device, whether known as a credit card, credit plate, charge plate or by any other name, issued with or without fee by an issuer for the use of the cardholder in obtaining money, goods, services or anything else of value on credit which is accepted by over one hundred retail locations.
