Thus, for someone to say "they never carry cash" -- would seem to seem to say they haven't considered alternative -- and possibly necessary -- options. It doesn't seem to say that at all. Not carrying cash does not mean that your only other alternative is a phone. Also, phones rarely die for reasons other than the battery running out of juice, at least in my experience. I've owned various different mobile phones over a period of twenty years or more. I've never had one die on me and I've never had one run out of battery. I always make sure to keep my phone charged up, especially if I'm going out - it's not that difficult.

It really doesn't matter what peoples preference is, if someone prefers cash, thats completely their choice unless a shop is digital-payment only, in which case I would support the person complaining about not having a 'cash-payment' option... ... What I am arguing against is not that one payment method is better than the any other, but against the silliness and often outright stupidity of the arguments used by those against 'digital-payment' as another option as if cash is the only viable option - these arguments are often flawed at a very basic level.

How'd you get started on this tirade? My response was to someone who said "they never carried cash," opting to only pay by phone. I merely mentioned, it might be nice to carry some cash, in case the phone went south. Also, cash may come in handy to pay a tow truck, when your EV vehicle has run out of electrons.
