 Just got asked to use a credit card to pay a 0.10 euro fee at a store...

I left some coins on the counter and left

 Peter Todd once said we should be more concerned about the war on cash then the war on crypto. 
 This is the silent one! 

I just took a trip, the local diner in the middle of nowhere US only accepted cards, only had a menu available via QR code and website, and was mostly run by teenagers. They looked at me funny when I said I didn't have a phone on me, meanwhile the room full of 50+ y/o were buried in their smart phones, and us mid 20 y/o forgot them at the hotel. It's a weird time. I just told them I wanted food and handed the cashier a $20 bill and left.
