Not really? I've only really seen people not taking cash at trendy street food stalls and bougie coffee shops, pretty much everywhere else does.

Not just indie coffee shops - chains too. Pubs, clothes shops... Even the Raspberry Pi store
Netherlands is the worst at this. More and more “PIN ONLY”. Also more and more tight rules about how much you're allowed to have.

Luckily I can just give someone a paper wallet containing crypto. No transactions, no traceability, no rules.

In London it’s really common
At where though? The example given was in 711 which is a nationwide chain a bit like a Tesco Express or Sainsbury's Local, both of which still accept cash nationwide in the UK too.
Aldi, apparently. That's where Piers Corbyn couldn't buy strawberries with cash. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/piers-corbyn-splits-op...
