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.

Handling cash costs about as much as handling card transactions. It always annoyed me when I was working at conventions and people would assume that my business was better off with cash. Cash was a huge pain in the arse.
