Do you avoid places which only accept cash! (self.japanlife)

For the past two years I have been actively avoiding places which refuse to accept electronic pavement methods. It is just so much easier to manage finances (for me at least).

I’ve even been in the situation where the only cashless payment which was accepted was SUICA, so I charged my SUICA at the register on my iPhone via credit card!

Unfortunately, there are a few holdouts (looking at you local clinics etc).

What do you do when you encounter an establishment which only accepts cash?
