I always use the card. If there is a fraudulent charge (never had one yet) I am covered. I do like the idea of using cash at smaller mom and pops but I rarely have much cash on me. Right now I have $7 in my money clip. That amount is unlikely to change for a while unless Ms Mash asks me to get a lotto ticket.
