I always - except you can pay with lightning - pay cash including Hotels etc. It is a layer of resistance and protection against surveillance, upcoming CBDC, negative interest rates, IT outage of payment network (happens from time to time and was a problem in de facto cashless Norway). It is one of the easiest way to fight the totalitarian regime.
When I don't have cash, only fiat balance on bank account, when it's possible, I often first go to ATM, withdraw cash and then pay in shop with it.

I do the same in stores that accept cash, even though it means longer lines, because there are far more checkouts that accept cards than cash.
