It was a Club Price before. I think it's been there since the early 90s.

I don't live in bumbfuck, no where.

The complete lack of security in the US is indeed odd.
I found the Swedes with their signature for card purchases lax enough but nothing?
So its as simple as finding a bank card on the floor then spending as much as you want with it?

Until you are featured on the local news from the store surveillance cameras using a credit card that isn't yours and the local police department would like a word with you.

I do not carry cash as a rule. Sometimes (e.g. when going out to a club or some such) I take out some cash and do not take my cards with me (if I get pickpocketed, it would be a bigger problem for me to lose my cards and have to get new ones than to lose a little bit of cash) but in general cash is too much of a hassle (plus you do not have a good control over what you spend it on).

I generally carry cash and I use it to pay for small purchases.

Speaking of security, in Poland we have pretty much totally migrated to PIN code/chip cards these days - you get weird looks when you try to pay with a "signature" card (like my AmEx, which for some reason my firm decided to pick as their corporate card company, considering it is the only one of the three that does not have a chip these days).

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

somewhere between 60-100$, usually.  More often less than that.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
