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.

Fully understand, although I must admit I never used primarily card as I was brought up by a boomer and all my first ""jobs"" were cash in hand! (although a £50 note & 2 bags of logs for a days labour at 13 was very very good). If you want to get into it just take out 100 for the week and spend only that, the change (including coppers) is free pint money!/cafe money if you don't drink.
