A first-of-its-kind law went into effect in Philadelphia this month, mandating that all businesses accept physical dollar bills or coins in exchange for goods and services. Overall, the percentage of cash payments in the U.S. has been dropping, from 33% to 26% in just the past four years. That's prompted some businesses to go entirely cashless.

It's gotten to a point where if you walk around with cash on you it's assumed you're a criminal. I've been robbed by police so many times for simply having money on me.

I actually like walking around with real dollars in my pocket.

Easier to keep track of my spending on a day-by-day basis that way and avoids unnecessary (and sometimes hidden) surcharges.

I may be , but at least I ain't broke and in-debt.

There are plenty of reasons why someone would use cash over cashless, mainly not leaving a paper trail. PLus I'm paranoid of being robbed.
