This is one of those things people who pay cashless think (including me, although Im not in the UK) because no one pays attention to how other people pay for things.
As of July 2017, 42.3% of transactions used cash in the UK:

The US has a similarly high percentage also.

(I paid partly in Danish coins, since I didn't have enough sterling and the cashier liked the resemblance to old Chinese coins with a hole in the middle.)
