Cash all the way
A person at the table near me was being gently teased by their friends because they pay for things by cash. "Don't you have a card?" Made me smile. I love paying by cash - it's fast, anonymous, low risk of fraud and doesn't create a whole lot of noise on my bank account for inevitable fraudulent card transactions to hide in. Not to mention recent news of massive data leaks.

I still prefer that too as I always have
The idea of giving out credentials that allow unrestricted access to a bank account to strangers always looked risky to me, well before anyone started talking about doing any of that online.

I agree and prefer my common, everyday purchases to be cash. The gas (gasoline) pump is one place that I miss where you could say fill 'er up and pay the attendant in cash. Today in my area, most are self serve, so I need to estimate the amount of the purchase or make a second trip in.
