Interesting, I'm the opposite. I'll pay with card when possible, and if it's cash only, I'll offer to Venmo or I'm leaving. I put a lot of value in being able to track my own spending, and that itself is worth more than the potential issues of using a card.

Paying with cash doesn't preclude tracking your spending in any way. It might be less convenient to have to make a memo to yourself, but that is another issue. Having electronic-only precludes anonymity, unless some robust/secure/stable form of crytocurrency appears.
