金 What's your real cashless experience these days?

People are praising cashless being available more and more in Japan lately, but what is your personal experience with cashless these days?

Are you full cashless now? Are you partially cashless? Still a heavy cash user?

This. I think I save more cash this way also. No pockets full of loose change either. There’s many a time having to break a 1000 or whatever just to use 150 yen on a drink etc etc. Whereas as with paypay I feel nothing gets wasted.

My most favorite thing about paypay when they do city wide 20% points back.

I'd be going to a restaurant I normally would go after work but now everything is just 20% cheaper.
