Cash is so gross though. All those grubby mitts all over it, plus being stored in super icky places like bras and grunderpants. Big fan of cashless if for no other reason than keeping bits of other people off me.

Actual other reasons:

• More secure to use a locked device for payment than carry cash that becomes anonymous once its removed from your person
• You cant lose digital money down the back of the couch, or drop it when getting your wallet out or whatever
• Easier for businesses to keep a track and balance sales automatically when its all digital
• Safer for staff rather than handling wads of cash, especially in places like service stations
• Harder for dodgy folk to do dodgy deals with
