>"people under 60 that uses cash are considered, if not criminal, at least suspicious, like they have something to hide. Or simply wackos."

I have barely used cash in 25 years. This doesn't mean anything at all. You're probably putting this solely in the context of using cash for significantly large purchases, e.g. higher 4 digit sum or above, or as in your example a craftsman who want to exempt it from his or her accounting. Nobody bats an eye at a person buying groceries, or some gadget for a couple of hundred, with cash.

no we use cards for everything, even for just buying an icecream or something. most older people use cards too actually, but sometimes you can see one struggling with their coins and notes when buying groceries yes.

I regularly see people use cash for common and small purchases. In the grocery store checkout line, at the kiosks, at the pizzeria, and so on. Card is by far the most common option, but the discussion was never about the ratio.
