That's a logical fallacy. If the country truly goes "cashless" then retailers will simply raise their prices by whatever the credit card companies charge for transactions, plus an additional percentage to maintain the profit margin. EVERYONE ends up paying extra, because no one is paying cash - in a cashless society.
