Unless one's going to buy something worth several thousands or tens of thousands (Those who really have that much money around there is no risk money would become too cumbersome to to carry. There are enough bills with higher denominations both in american and european countries.
I've noticed this attitude being presented in several US located movies:
When you pay cash, there's something wrong with you. Your are suspicious.
Do. Not. Understand. Really, no US bashing behind it or something like that. I just don't understand this aversion
So c'mon folks enlighten me - what's wrong with cash?

I love my debit card. Especially when I fill up the car with gas and the total is different every time. I do not have to worry if I have enough money to pay if I use a debit card.
If I have cash on me I spend it with no idea where it went.
