Dislike!=friction/harder. In other words people will jump through hoops to make something already frictionless into multiple orders of magnitude more steps to make the last step easier. Banks did their utmost to perpetuate the idea that cash is harder. They make it harder. The only thing you have to do with cash is add/subtract it yourself. Feel the need for an app? Calculator can do that! |

How much is this drink? $1.65? Okay, lacking a dollar, I can pay $2.05 and get 4 dimes back (no help) or pay $2.15 and get 2 quarters back (that's better than getting 3 dimes and a nickel), or just pay with a $5 and get back (in Canada) a toonie ($2-coin), a loonie, 3 dimes and a nickel.
That's a lot of metal bits I have to carry around for the next 8 or 9 hours to justify a drink of something in the morning.
I'd rather just beep my card, and it's not banks that convinced me to do it.
