In Australia, I would say about at least 75% of all in-person payments I make are with PayPass/PayWave. That other 25% is cash and the odd place that hasnt updated their terminals yet. Some banks will even give you like a 5% cash back if you use contactless.

It's very reliable and is the defacto method of payment in places like pubs. Often I'll hand my card over and they'll ask 'Can I just PayWave that?'
