My barber doesn't take cards at all. Cash or check only.

Do you mean one of those things they write on paper slips when you say check? Which country are you from?

The American spelling of cheque is check, and they're still very common there. That's exactly what they mean.

You know, people from the US say that a lot but in other countries like germany where >75% of purchases are cash and a lot of stores are cash only, this doesn't seem to be a problem at all...

I think Germans genuinely enjoy paying taxes. One need not look farther than Germany's close neighbors (Italy, Greece) to see that many people do underreport cash revenue.
