    Man, you’re not gonna like visiting The Netherlands, where cash is quite commonly not accepted in favour of exclusively debitcards (AmEx and the likes are often not accepted since they’re far too expensive).

      Noooo! I did visit it years ago and it was so convenient to pay for everything in even euros!

        Paying with card is convenient. If the amount is below an amount the card holder sets then you don’t even need a pin. It’s about the same time as each party counting money and so on.

          That’s true. I only do this when they somehow make it harder than it needs to be - cash is a great fallback for unusual situations. It also prevents middlemen from stealing my tip to the server only.
