Of course. I rarely carry cash, when I do I'd rather not use it, a CC is sufficiently secure (from experience), and a vendor having to jump thru whatever hoops to take CC as payment seems more trustworthy than an anonymous anyone with a cart. For better security & privacy, ensure that the transaction device supports "chipped" cards or, better yet, Apple Pay or other anonymizing technique. While I deeply despise the notion of a "cashless society", gotta admit it's incredibly convenient (enough to overcome my objections).
