Yep. Plus currency grosses me out - thinking of how many hands it's been in, where those hands have been... Eww.

I don't like Big Data and the tracking / profiling that comes with electronic payments but the convenience of a debit card just can't be beat.

Drives me nuts when places don't take cards - I don't go to "cash only" dives. Anyone can get a Square reader for about 20 bucks and the cost per transaction is pretty low. Heck I have one and I've used it to accept payments for stuff sold on Craigslist. These Luddite places simply need to get with the times.

If I really start to get more concerned with Big Data knowing and tracking too much I'll do more cash transactions but for the time being the inconvenience, potential security risk and general disgustingness of having to cart around currency is outweighed by the comparative convenience and cleanliness of my debit card (or ApplePay, if it catches on like I think it may)
