      You already can’t in so many places. I thought it was required to accept cash, but apparently that’s only for paying the government.

    I’ve never used a wallet. I either put my credit card and ID in my jeans or the small zipped pocket of my purse. 2 cards don’t deserve to have their own wallet - what do y’all put in there?

      A few credit cards (used to carry only two, but when one got swallowed by an atm in a foreign country I learned better), a debit card, id card, drivers license, medical insurance card, car key card, bills, coins. Sometimes a few receipts to expense or the odd parking card.

      Basically everything is a backup, my phone has all my credit and debit cards and my car key, but I still carry the wallet just in case: phone dead, traffic stop, sick, etc.

      Oh crap, has the side part came back too? I used to hate my mom brushing my hair like that when it looked too messy for her… That being said I do miss my mom and would probably wear my hair like that if it would bring her back.

        I don’t think it ever left… Its not popular with Gen Z that’s for sure but I love my side parting! Give it a go for her.

    I’ve literally never owned a wallet and don’t know many people who do actually have one

      Do you just have to remember to grab things whenever you go out? I can use my phone for most payments, but not everything. There’s several things I need regularly in my wallet: driver’s license, some cash, credit card, health insurance card, work ID (doors have scanners), punch cards for our local taco, boba, and ice cream place, grocery store/cvs discount card, and some other things I use less often. If I only had one of those phone cases, I could bring like 3 of the cards, but then my phone would be even bigger in my pocket.

        I can use my phone for literally all payments. Even kids selling lemonade on the side of the street.

        We have digital driver’s licenses, health insurance is just tied to your person.

        I bring my lanyard with access card to the office though

          Well here in America we’re living in the past. But how do kids have credit card scanners!? I’ve been to Europe several times and the tap scanners are definitely everywhere though, very convenient.

    Some phone cases have an attached pocket. Barely holds 2 cards, but it’s probably enough to slip in a student ID, travel pass and squeeze in an emergency note (money).

    I find that very lope sided as I prefer to have a balance of stuff on both sides of my trouser pockets.

      Well the fun bonus effect with those is that if you lose your phone, you’ve lost literally everything.

      Yeah, because paying by card isn’t an option everywhere in Germany. The only time I carry cash is when I visit Germany.

      Checking out at the liquor store

      Cashier: “Can I see your ID?”

      Me: “Awww. I hardly ever get ‘carded’ anymore. It feels kind of nice.”

      Starts to pull out wallet

      Cashier: “Oh, nevermind. You’re good.”

      Me: “…Listen here you little shit. You started this whole thing. Now I’m going to show you my ID anyways and you’re going to act surprised like ‘OMG! I could have sworn he was 22! I didn’t even notice his bald spot.’”.

      Nah. It’s just cards. I haven’t touched cash in a decade, but I do have way too many cards I need that can’t go in my phone.

      Most places will tell you to fuck off if you start handing them cash from your bra, no one wants your boob sweat.

        I had an obese customer pay me from her fat tiddy purse and do you know what I did?

        I took the goddamned sweaty bills, thanked her, and used the cash to buy edibles at the dispensary later that week.

        Dunno what palace you live in but $ > boob sweat
