On HN we often hear there are plenty of folks who like paying cash and don't want to tie purchases to a corp system. Then I go to a place like safeway and literally everyone pays with a credit card and gives up their phone number so they can get MAJOR discounts on purchases (ie, $1/item vs $3/item) and points towards things. Even the folks on EBT are using some kind of credit cards instead of the old vouchers.
