I have never used grocery delivery; perhaps it has been available in my area for a couple of years. After we've been "locked down" for so long, it seems fortunate that we're able to enjoy the company of fellow citizens in the grocery store and various other locations where we all queue together. People have waited behind me in queue (and I've visited some benighted locales where queueing is a habit the public has not yet mastered), so I appreciate the opportunity to take the other side in this transaction. One character we don't need around is someone who feels like the line should move faster.
Either you vastly exaggerate the time savings of card payments, or credit card machines in your community are more reliable than what we have here. Don't brag too hard about living in the future, however, because here we often have the option of self-checkout, which typically is faster than even looking at a cashier. (Unless one of the oldsters who annoy you so has wandered into that lane and now contemplates the scanner as if it were the cockpit of the Space Shuttle. In that case one might offer assistance? Most of our self checkouts take cash!)
The day will come when all purchases will require the approval of several more parties than the buyer and the seller. We will not enjoy that circumstance, so people wiser (and perhaps less hurried?) than you will use cash as long as we can.
