You haven't really thought your own question through very far, have you? You pay your internet and utility bills with cash? That's a problem in the U.S. In other countries many businesses are cashless, often even public transit is increasingly cashless.
Update: I'm even thinking of landlords of multitenant buildings, there's just no way they're going to take e.g. $100,000 in cash from everyone each month. It's really not workable. The apartment I had in NYC a few years ago was conventional check only. No cash possible, no credit card, no EFT.

Utility bills use a similar system. From the point of view of the bill issuer, it's cashless. I don't know how it works on other countries, but I'd expect similar systems.
- ghock 11y agoSimilar in most of Europe as far as I know, though many use online banking now. Haven't seen a check in 20 years.

- cmurf 11y agoNo, I'm thinking of the landlord making that size deposit. I know of no one walking around with $3000 cash to go pay rent let alone the landlord walking even two blocks to a bank to deposit that from everyone in the building.
