I'd get a debit card because I FUCKING HATE fumbling for change, but knowing my ass, I'd overspend. 
Why use a credit/debit card for under $5?

Card transactions go SO much faster. Especially at the grocery store, because you don't even have to sign if it's under $50 anymore. I love it.

Yeah I use my debit card for everything too, at least that way I can keep track online of my purchases. Sometimes if I use cash I don't remember everything
I've spent and if I throw out the receipt I don't have a record.

Debit card 24/7. It makes me feel more comfortable and it's convenient for me to have one plastic card as the only source for my funds.

It tends to take longer for cashiers to ring up customers with cash than those with cards.
I use my card for pretty much everything. I very rarely carry cash and the card is so much more convenient. |

I have my debit card with me every day at work. It's much more convenient for me...I've had money fall out of my pockets several times there, one time
completely losing $20. My card is in a little holder on my name badge, hidden behind a signature card. And I only spend at MOST $4 in one transaction.

I hardly ever have cash, so...it's debit or steal.

I doooo. So much faster. I hate when people want to pay cash. "Here's a 20" I ring it in. "Oh wait! Here's 25 cents!" or "Oh
wait! Here's the exact change!" like FFS either have it ready or at hand when you come up to the counter, as you are already just standing in line
starting into nothingness or just give me a damn bill and take the damn change and moooove along already.

I'm a college student or I was. And I never carried cas on campus at all. It was just easier to use my card. Hell I remember putting $1.73 or close to on
my card because I had to get bluebooks and had no change. Happens.

I don't carry cash on me- too risky for me and what's so hard you swipe and you push okay then okay again at most places and you're done.
Especially at the self-checkout lanes I'm done faster then most people who have cash. Plus if you're card has a paypass sort of the thing you just hold it up to the machine and you're done! The OP is probably like this guy in this visa commercial:

i dont carry cash anymore so no matter what the cost is, it goes on my debit card. atleast if my card gets stolen or lost i can stop it if i lose cash or it
gets stolen, its gone.

I don't enter my pin I just use it as credit (well I don't remember my pin and that's why), and only certain locations have paypass like best buy,
mcdonalds, arbys, dairy queen
