I have refused to shop at numerous stores because they make a point of not accepting cash. Cash is incredibly important for modern society due to actually being untraceable and allowing for private transactions. Plus, a society without cash is one where you are forced to use central banking. Blockchain is just trying to imitate cash digitally, which as it turns out is really hard to do. So it just ends up that people use central services anyways.

The point is, cash is hard to trace. And that's a good thing. I personally refuse to shop anywhere that refuses cash, and I encourage you to do the same if possible.
