This is retarded, have you even looked at credit debt on a nation-wide scale?

Glad that your credit card ?? habit works for you.
That is pretty helpful for making major purchases or having things shipped to you.

I prefer cash ?? so that I lower my digital footprint - especially with eating and travel.
I have seen how such records can be used against people and just stay with cash for most casual purchases.

More and more are charging a fee for debit/credit card use.

You are more than ten years late to the party. After 2008, the (D) passed a whole bunch of financial "reform" laws which restricted credit card companies and banks from doing business as usual, including when and how transaction fees got charged among other things. Banks and processors could no longer afford to eat the transaction costs by balancing them out with fees charged to merchants, so the fees became more transparent, and passed onto you in 50 different ways. You were always paying the fee somehow, it's just blatant now.

Businesses like to avoid cash because you instantly remove a not insignificant theft/fraud risk, and you don't have to deal with the daily issue of counting drawers, reconciling, etc.

OP is a moron for having a jug full of coins that he can't even probably pick up to take to the Coinstar for an Amazon giftcard.

They are very convenient until you're trying to teach your teenage children how to budget. The physical act of cash leaving your hand/wallet is a lot more effective than a simple card swipe. I've tried twice to send my kids with cash on a trip/outing with the expectation that they make the money that I give them last the whole trip, only to have to fall back on a Credit Card because their destination was cashless.

Cashless Transactions Are Convenient ... until the power goes out, the internet has an outage, the card strip or chip doesn't work, your account is locked up for a security breach, etc.

Budgeting is easier with credit cards because kids have an electronic record of every transaction available on demand.

With cash, keeping paper receipts is required.
