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.

If you were up to anything on the dl it’d be way less sus to have a current account full of the normal behaviour of a perfectly normal citizen, and do your black economy stuff in cash. Sort of how getting into the US is going to be a lot harder if you say “ackshually I’m on something called Lemmy” vs if you have an x.com where you occasionally post stuff like “all hail the eternal god emperor, he will make the West strong again!” and “This is fine”.
