Everyone who is saying there is nothing wrong with cash is right. However, there is one major drawback to cash which is no longer a big problem in societies which are mostly cashless. Namely, if your wallet gets stolen and you have $300 in it, you've lost that $300 forever. If your wallet gets stolen and they get your cards, you can just cancel them and aren't even charged for fraudulent purchases.

I realize that means less privacy, but I can't afford to lose that kind of money just walking to the supermarket to buy groceries.

im gonna press X to doubt that you carry $300 to the grocery store, let alone that you carry that much groceries by hand while walking home

Yeah homie I dunno there. I'm in Quebec right now and it's extremely rare for me to get out of even a simple grocery run for less than $200. I could easily carry home 300 dollars worth of groceries, even buying mostly generics.
