I started using my current barber soon after the pandemic lockdown ended. I’m pretty sure that at that time, they did not take Apple Pay, and they had an ancient, slow credit card reader, so I just paid them cash, because it was more convenient. The last time I went in for a haircut, I forgot to bring my wallet, so before I sat down, I asked if they take Apple Pay. They do now.
That’s the last place on Earth I paid cash for anything. I’m living the cash-free life now.
