Zero, unless I'm going to be buying weed later that day. Legal here but still have to pay with cash.

How much cash do you keep on you?

$0, I'm not going to one day end up looking like a dead Fallout NPC character with pre-war money littered around him.
None, usually. I only use my debit card, or my phone using a money transferal app.
But due to some recent travel I now I have around 200DKK, a couple of GBP, and one EUR. There's no reason for it, I'm just lazy. Oh, and I also have 100SEK (my own country's currency) which I'm now gonna use to buy ice-cream with.

either $0, or I'll have like $40 in two twenties that I've randomly took out at the bar and never used.
I have one of those slim wallets so usually none at all.
I consider cash to be "free money" basically. Like, "oh, shit, I have money?"

sure but
a) this is incredibly rare (widespread outage). You probably have a better chance of winning $1000 in the lottery based on how often you make transactions.
b) if it's NOT a widespread outage.. then you just go next door to the next store.
I mean, you said you couldn't think of a single incident where you couldn't use cards and I just gave and incredibly simple and common one. What if you go next door and they're using the same internet provider or credit card processing platform? Because that's really common too, especially in smaller towns or cities. Whipping out some cash will always be easier than going to another store.
Around £50. I mostly use it for giving people tips and change for the vending machine at the gym.
Edit: forgot to add. The best Chinese takeaway round these parts does cash on delivery only. So I have it for them also.

$100, I stopped using cards for incredibly small amounts like say under $20 since I was just spending too much that way.
Takeaway cash is essential. Never know when the need for a curry will take hold.
I usually have somewhere in the region of the national debt in shrapnel in my wallet. Sometimes it won't fit in my pocket without emptying some out.
80 bucks
sometimes, you need emergency liquid on hand
and it feels stupid using credit cards for anything under 10 bucks

I use cards for everything unless I'm traveling, then I'll carry $100 with me regularly just in case I see a food spot I want to try and they don't take cash. I don't really explore in my day-to-day job, and all my regular spots take cards, so it's just more convenient for me. I'll always order food for pick up instead of delivery, since I live pretty close to everything, and I actually don't think there's a place in my town that doesn't take cards. The big city near me is different, though. I always take out cash when I go in there.
I haven't seen anyone write a check at retail in the states in almost a decade.
I generally carry about $100, usually as a backup. Almost always pay with my card.

I never have cash. Sold something on CL awhile ago and was really impressed with how $100 bills look because I hadn't held one in YEARS!! Could've been fake for all I knew lol
But sometimes it's annoying charging something that's $2. Gonna start carrying at least $60 now at all times.

I try to keep a handful of singles and a couple of fives in my wallet at all times in case I need to tip a valet, but other than that, I never ever use cash.
Yep. Living in Florida and having to deal with hurricanes I've experienced this every so often.
Hardly ever anything in my wallet.
I have like $50 in my car's locked glove box "just in case" and I keep a small stack of $5 bills in my work briefcase in the case I hit a happy hour and need to tip.

$0. The only time I have money on me is when someone either gives me some for whatever reason, or when I have left over money from the ATM at places that only take cash.
