You must have some cash with you. Few days ago in store where I regulary pay with card, POS device didn't work so I have to pay with cash. Also I remember situation where group of girls didn't have 10 euros for entire bill. They wanted pay with card but bar didn't accept cards.

Right now I actually prefer bank transfers with my bank app than cash. Though there are some places I go to, I still make use of cash.
My default way of spending money is through bank transfers. Even for groceries, I use bank transfer. Any shop that doesn't have facility for bank transfers won't get my patronage.
I usually pay cash for most offline purchases since it is safer, the risk of hacking is reduced to a great extent. I only use my credit card for online payment and bank transfer for some government payment.

I usually pay using cash. I do not carry a large amount to avoid impulse purchases. I only use my debit card for online transactions.

I prefer to bring cash wherever I go or shop. I feel it is easier for me. I also bring my debit card in case, I run out of cash. I already surrendered my credit card. I am now having a peaceful mind.
Yes I always prefer to carry cash to avoid overspending. I noticed that i overspend when it comes to buying with my card.

We can control our spending once bring cash during shopping. We can estimate the expenses and make a break instantly in case almost out of budget.
Yes with cash you can only spend with your budget in mind. So going out with only your needed cash is good
I don't like carrying cash because it would mean I need to carry a purse. I love that freedom of walking around freely without having any load on me.
Thst right with your cash you can know how to work around your budget to be sure it works for you.
I don't like that at all.l feel comfortable when carrying my money online or electrically.This reduces the risk for crime rates associated with money.
However it's convenient to carry your cash online because of crime people thou it's all depends in your location if it's safe or not I don't like going with cash always
Yesterday, on my way to the market, I lost some funds because the pocket of the trouser I wore had a hole. That couldn't have happened if I had carried the funds electronically.
I also prefer it because it is easier to pay like that and there is less change of you getting robed or something
I prefer carrying cash with me. In my country, a lot of people don't accept POS and all this digitalized banking method. Moreover, i think is not right for somebody to go out without some cash. Emergency may prompt up which may need immediate finance to sort things out.
My haircut saloon, bakery and most bars don't accept credit cards so I always must have some cash with me. Often is around 40 euros.
The only reason I carry cash is to buy some small things like soap and food. And also, for transportation. Those guys don't accept bank transfer except for significant amounts.
