Thought of this more recently. The amount of control tech has over credit or debit cards is dangerous. Not to mention a power outage leaves you with nothing. Or if someday companies decide you can’t use their credit card certain ways.
Its kind of unfeasible today, but maybe we should be using cash for every possible thing…
I use cash as much as I can. sometimes you get a discount if you pay in cash in some places. There’s a computer parts store near me that does this. If I pay cash I get a discount because it’s better for them than paying visa/mc/interac fees I guess.
