Okay, then we all carry lots of cash.
Tell me what happens next.
And then some guy will come on the forum and tell us, anyone carrying cash deserves to be robbed so they’re pockets are as empty as his/her brain.

You carry a credit card.
I keep very little cash on my person.
I worked in Australia for two months a couple of years ago.
Merchants openly tack the credit card fee on to the purchase price, consequently very few people use cards for routine purchases. Elizabeth may be queen, but cash is king. I only used credit cards for hotels and rental cars.

My credit union will provide a “Gift Card” with no percentage charge for amounts up to $300. So if I am going to be doing some shopping, either locally or on-line, I just take cash and exchange it for a card. Save up my purchases and do them all on the same day so there is never anything left on the card when I finish. My local grocery store also allows purchase of a Gift Card in exchange for cash and they charge 2% of purchase amount. But with each $100 purchased, I get $.10 off a gallon of gas and can use up to $.50 off at one time. So at least I net $.08 off a gallon of gas. Either choice has worked well for me.
I only barter for anything I purchase and always keep a large supply of chickens, bags of grain, blankets, furs, silk and perfume on me at all times.
