Not at all. Whenever possible, except for tiny purchases (under $5), I use
my VISA. If they won't accept VISA, 99% of the time they WILL accept my
bank debit card. Therefore, I usually carry less than $50 in cold cash. I
use so little cash, 1 trip a month to the bank ATM a month is sufficient
for cash withdrawal purposes.
