Anglophones, please, please, excuse me for replying in my native tounge. The cashless society engages my aversion such that it is hard to say in my second language.

Så jävla enig alltså!

Fy fan för detta inskränkta, ofria land! Jag avundas norrmän, daner, och finnar för att de slipper Rosenbad.

Du, och alla andra skandinaver vet att genomsnittssvensken... har sina svårigheter.

Ser fram mot min årliga skridskosemester i Norge.

... huh? Or I guess this is sarcasm? This response hardly seems warranted, given it’s just a festival exclusively accepting swish. I never use swish except for sending money to friends, so I don’t think it’s widespread for businesses. Contact less credit card is easier than everything, including cash.

The Danish version, MobilePay, is fairly widely accepted by small and some medium businesses.

Very small businesses might only accept MobilePay or cash (e.g. come and see an obscure band perform in Copenhagen, the ticket, cloakroom and bar might have these choices.)

Larger places offer it as an alternative. The canteens at Copenhagen University, for example.

Swedish has three extra letters in its alphabet, åäö, so Swedish keyboard layout has 'å' where american keyboards has '['. You can type them by switching to Swedish layout and pressing [.
