How many of you use cash? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Generally just curious how often people on here in the UK tend to use it. Personally I use it 95% of the time due to privacy concerns, easier budgeting & wanting to maintain its use. Most people my age (early to mid 20s) seem to find the concept alien & I've noticed younger cashiers are absolutely garbage at calculating change mentally.

Very very rarely, and I generally actively avoid it. There's only really my barbers that I occasionally use it for as their card payments seem to be intermittent.

I find cash impractical: it often gets lost when it gets converted into change, or notes get put in a pocket and forgotten about, and it's difficult to track where it's being spent, where you can break down each electronic transaction.

Aye but when you find the note again its a bonus tenner or a twenty ; )
