I've been this way for at least 3 years and it's not really a struggle in a major metro area. The only times cash is needed is for tipping, and we don't really valet that often or have other need to tip.
- lazerpants 9y agoNYC is really an outlier on this. Lots of businesses here are cash only, including all 3 pizzerias near my house, all halal food carts, hot dog carts, many small performing arts operations, and most bodegas (unless you're spending $10+).
- miranda_rights 9y agoYep - I've also been unintentionally been cashless for the last few years. Part of it is I don't like carrying a purse and like being able to only have my cards stored in one of those card-holders that attach to phones. I do feel guilty about not being able to tip sometimes but most of the time, tipping is done on a card, and my city has raised minimum wage enough that tipping is supposedly on its way out.
