I don't get paid in cash so there is really no reason I would have any on me. To be honest if I saw something in a store I liked and then had to go make a special trip to my bank machine to buy it I would reconsider the purchase. Buying second hand goods is one thing but retail sales is another. I suppose some people may have some bad spending habits and cash would be great for them but for others it's an inconvenience. Just today in the business news they were stating that only 20% of all retail sales in Canada is cash, the rest is credit/debit and that 20% is getting smaller every year.
