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.

Where do you live out of interest? I can't help but feel some covid so many businesses moved away from cash.

Grew up in a extremely rural area which likely had something to do with it, currently live in a small city & have continued the habit.
