I must say that I seldom withdraw cash from ATM today and most of the time I pay by my phone. It is much more convenient and I don't really need the cash. This is why there is really little cash in my wallet.
Yesterday my husband accompanied me to the driving school to learn to drive. In the lunch break we went to McDonald's as it wouldn't spend much time. When I wanted to pay for it by phone as usual, the staff told me that the system was down and there was no way to pay by phone or credit card. And cash was the only one option. That's so embarrassing as I didn't even have enough cash to pay for it I asked my husband to pay for it instead

I like to take some money out of an ATM machine so I have money to pay for my shopping. If I pay with a debt card then I notice I spend much more money. When I have a certain amount of real money then I can't spend more than that. Last year my banks let me do contactless spending and I was able to do that up to 30 pounds a time. I don't like to do that because it is so easy to spend lots of money. I did use the contactless card on London Underground and it added up to quite a lot of money.

It's good that your husband had enough cash.
Here credit card is not accepted everywhere and I don't know any shop where I could pay with my phone, so I usually have some cash with me.

Yes, I do. But usually a small amount only. I bring my debit card.

@youless I had said goodbye to credit card. But I agree it comes handy.
