You may have seen the TV ads that try to convey how much better your consumer experience will be if you pay with a debit/credit card instead of cash. If you have not seen the ads, look here and check out "Juggling".
I must say I hardly ever use anything but cash anymore because it always seems the quickest payment method. For example, I stopped by Trader Joe's to pickup ONE item I needed. Checking out turned into a lengthy ordeal because they were having glitches with their electronic payment system. Each transaction took over one minute to process, and it often failed, which meant a re-do. I tried to have "customer service" check out my one item, but they did not have the means to scan the item and thus could not ring me up! (Not to get off the track here, but the only way to enter a transaction is to scan?!?!?)
Relying on electricity and connectivity to buy a container of juice is exactly how the US ended up so wrapped up in energy.
Make an effort to embrace another GREEN lifestyle change ... USE CASH.
