Sure.

Using cash is not actually inconvenient though.

I often find that people use the term "convenient" to mean "more pleasing to me" which is completely different.

It's not more convenient for me to buy milk from Amazon than it is for me to get it from my corner shop, it might be more pleasing if I didn't like seeing or talking to people. Those are two different things.

By contrast if I had to wash my clothes in a river it would take me literally hours of manual labour every week and they wouldn't be as clean.



Having to carry pieces of paper around, and getting pieces of metal as change is inconvenient. Come on people.


I'm literally sat at my desk inside my house with cash in my jeans pocket now.

It's a total non issue. You probably have a bank card or phone in your pocket or on your desk.

Some of us even use _note books_. Insane, I know.

Which you, at some point, had to withdraw from an ATM. And which slows down your transaction time at a checkout.

I do have a phone in my pocket. I would have my phone in my pocket anyway. It's great that it now means I don't need to manage bits of paper and metal too.


Neither of those are true, but yo, whatever, in your life I guess they feel like they have to be. Good luck, fellow space cadet.
