> Why, other than your privacy?
Data security is my main issue. Companies have repeatedly shown that they cannot be trusted to keep the data safe, so your private information, credit card details etc end up leaked and sold, your identity gets stolen, you have lots of trouble (financial and legal) and the company says "oopsie, keeping you safe is our top priority. Here's a $20 voucher you can spend at any of our shops".
As soon as any credit card transaction comes with a $5000 risk in damages & penalties if you've gotten your 5-year-old-never-updated-with-a-public-IP POS system cracked, the "labor-intensiveness" of paper money vanishes in comparison.
