This definitely showed me that a cashless society is a bad idea. Thankfully I had some cash on hand otherwise would have been stuck for food and gas. It also caused a lot of issues at work as all my coworkers need to drive to do their job and some had no cash on hand. Of course that same day the chip on my visa stopped working and a new one was ordered in the mail. But if not for the cash on hand it would have been a bad day.
