Honestly now that I've moved to a cash based society I don't even miss my debit card. With the debit card paying meant fiddling with an often broken terminal. If my card got rejected I could be waiting in line at wal-mart going through credit cards. Even the simple act of having a card rejected (wrong pin, nothing on a prepaid, or etc) was embarrassing. The only embarrassing story I have after going cash only was the time I forgot my _entire_ wallet. I just handed the basket to the clerk and ran home. The only big concern here is I'm legally required to carry my alien registration card. Without a credit card I have no worries of identify theft from highjacked terminals. Plus unlike Canada you can hand over a 100 dollar bill and no one bats an eyelash. I always have coin for vending machines. And cash-on-delivery is still a thing here. Everything has just been nicer with cash.
