Do you want a cashless society?

People are talking often about this. They want to remove cash. I don't think it's a good idea. Why shouldn't we be able to use cash? I wanted to pay with my credit card when I bought some things. Many errors appeared and I couldn't make the payment. This is why I think that cash should exist. A cashless society is one where physical money is replaced totally by digital currency.

If I go to a cafe to order a coffee, I pay cash.

@porwest - People here want to keep cash at home (or in their safe at the bank), it's a "just in case", as you never know what could happen in the future.
I almost never use cash, but I always have some cash with me. When the credit/debit card machine does not work at the grocery store, I can still pay and come home with my grocery.

With all the security issues and such that exist in the digital world, I certainly want to keep using cash. I know, pros and cons with cash too . . . but at least I have it and can choose to use it. I've seen certain businesses that are cashless now - and I can see why it works for them - but as a consumer I want to keep my option to pay by cash.

@dya80dya It's interesting that several people I know have had bank issues lately - that the bank would not let them access their accounts in the regular way. Sometimes technology is more of a pain - cash is pretty much straight forward.

I used to think it would be neat to be in a cashless society, but now I think it's a bad idea. Computer systems aren't perfect.

No thank you. Apart from the errors, you might be without electricity or the card readers go offline or the bank is offline. I've experienced these problems many times. I don't think I've ever had problems with cash.
