I can see that. A lot less of an option when you’re as densely populated as Japan. Most places have nowhere to eat outside. Heck, summertime is over 40 degrees here. Outdoor eating is just not a thing.

On a side note, the whole pandemic has rapidly forced changes in pretty much every aspect of retail here.
Pre-Covid, cashless systems were few and far between. Paying with a debit card barely existed and many places, including large chain restaurants didn’t take credit cards.
Now, pretty much every store or restaurant has a cash register that you put the money in yourself and it spits out your change, every store/convenience store/ public space has plexiglass dividers including libraries and any public building. Cashless systems like Apple Pay and the like are now pretty much universal.
It’s to the point where I’m surprised if the cashier has to handle money at all.

My favorite is when my wife's phone is tucked away in there and someone calls with one of the verbal ring tones she has set up. I'm like, "Hey honey, it's talking."

I tended to strongly prefer using cash for small transactions prior to the pandemic, but pretty early on, locally it became impossible to find places to make change, so I've switched over entirely to cards for anything but the few places that won't take anything but cash.

Problem is they do mega parties 1000+.
Or street parties.
