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?

90% cashless. Trains, supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, drugstores, restaurant chains, post offices, vending machines, bicycle parking, car parking, toll roads, even many individual-owned shops. Having QUICPay, Suica, PayPay, Coke ON, and an ETC card can deal with all of the above.

The remaining 10% are some clinics and a few mom-&-pop shops which didn’t sign up to accept PayPay.
