There are places in the US that no longer take any cash (although I don’t really think this is legal). I was surprised at the Huston Airport when our next flight was postponed because none of the shops or restaurants took cash. I really hate having to use plastic to buy a bottle of water (even if it cost several dollars). In my old-fashioned way, I find it easiest to write checks or pay cash because when I am doing that, I am aware of the money I am spending. When I push a credit card into a machine, I don’t have that same awareness.
