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.

(32M) Since COVID I only used it for the barbers. I found a good Turkish one that takes bank transfers now though, so never.

I do have emergency money in my bike toolkit though just in case.
