But are many people still paying in cash? Doesn’t feel super relevant anymore

I assume these places will stop taking cards (or impose minimums or surcharges) as soon as the pandemic is sufficiently past, since merchant fees are a significant cost at their cheap prices and low margins. I would usually pay that kind of place in cash especially if I am not buying a large order, unless I don’t have the cash at the moment. But I usually carry cash just like before the pandemic. For things like Starbucks, of course they can eat the card fees no problem so I’d even buy a snack or a flavored water with a card from them.

I try to exclusively pay in cash and a few places I regularly go to only take cash. It's cheaper that way

Are you from Sweden? for dollar pizza almost everybody pays cash unless you're a freak who holds everybody up with a card for a one or two buck purchase.
