Citizens should have right to privacy. Cash, monero etc are important.
Then this people that seek privacy can go and shop somewhere that does take cash to maintain it, but if the market shows that they're not the majority they can't expect every shop to cater to them. It's like me expecting all restaurants to go fully veggie because I personally don't eat meat.
Must be nice living in such a huge city that there are multiple stores for everything. Can't even order online instead, since those shops also don't take cash (obviously).
To be fair, I order most products online anyway and there's a big supermarket round the corner for food. When I do venture into London it's great how much faster it is to use the trains, get a pint, pay for food, etc just tapping my phone on everything.
You never buy anything except food and drink?
