It will the day stores stop taking cash. Til then... it's to the company's advantage, not the consumers.
Sometimes explained simple concepts is difficult to this so-called above average intelligence crowd:
A lot of older people esp do not want to carry cash, they find it dangerous. Also they cannot write so quickly and do not want to be a check writing burden on other's in line.
A lot of poorer/maybe not so legal people do not have bank accounts and also don't want to carry cash due to the dangers of walking around with it.
Guadamaline (sp) people here in S. Florida with it's argiculture areas are constantly mugged as it's known a high percentage of the males usually they carry their cash on them.
I can go on about the advantages that could be had...I personally do not need those advantages.
I also hope you aren't the kind of doofus that brings cash to a car dealership thinking you can get a better price than your own bank draft. The dealer always ends up with 'cash' no matter how you pay...if anything it's in their best interest to push their own financing.
