I haven't used cash in at least 10 years. And contactless for the last 7-8 years, just using my Garmin watch to pay everywhere.

We have rules saying that accepting cash as payment is "mandatory", but the way the rule is written makes it so that it's only mandatory for settling debt. Aka the service is already rendered, and now you need to pay, you can demand to use cash. But when the service isn't rendered yet, a store could claim that they only sell to people using card, for instance.
