Why is it a bit weird? You're compensating them for the service they're providing. Do you think the plastic card you carry around has magical payment properties

  Yes, I understand deeply. I work in commerce. The farmers market vendors accept payments because consumers expect it, and consumers expect it because it's a great service. It's weird because it means they have their fingers in the pockets of even tiny local interactions like that. Vendors love having easy payments sure, but I've yet to meet a vendor happy about losing 3%+ of their margins because consumers expect it.
