I have and at times use contactless, but I'm waiting for the day when the system crashes with no plan B. What about the people that either don't have contactless cards or who only want to use cash, will they be told to do one,

It is. Everywhere here takes card or mobile payments, and a lot of places specifically don't take cash. Not even sure what the coins and notes look like and I've been here nearly two years.
