I barely ever use cash anymore, never have a reason to. It's never more convenient to pay in cash and then have to deal with whatever change you get afterwards too.

Yes, but the problem is removing the option for people to pay for things by cash.

What of the people that don't have bank accounts and phones, or those that can't afford them?
