@hikari wait, is that not the case elsewhere in Europe?
ustedes' continent has some strange countries
cash is almost universally accepted in the US and Canada, and is often preferred (some restaurants I've been to recently offer discounts for cash or charge a fee for paying by card)

@flamingspork sweden specifically is a late-stage cashless society. cash does still exist but the average swede never has a reason to use it in a given year and it is extremely common for retailers to not accept cash at all

@flamingspork if you have a visa or mastercard debit or credit card with no foreign transaction fees, you'll be fine

@flamingspork it was also my experience of living in the uk that, already half a decade ago, i could do all my daily things with contactless payment and only very rarely needed cash. wouldn't entirely surprise me if the uk became like sweden in a few years
