Then pay fees to withdraw YOUR money from a ATM machine to use cash.
Or use a credit card and get charged 3%-4%.

There was a thread about this several months ago. I personally use cash wherever/whenever possible. It’s pretty sad that there is a clear move by some to remove cash from our landscape (a move I believe we will regret). That said, I don’t get charged those fees for purchases you’ve described....the retailer might but not me. The ATM issue....use your in network options to avoid fees.
I’ve started to push back on unearned, expected and unwarranted tipping. Specifically, a coffee at a DD...I buy a $25 gift card which creates zero prompts for tips. If I feel a level of service or gesture warrants one, I reach into my cash pocket and tip accordingly
