Rant: my brother in law said cash only people are 'living in the past' at his own BBQ

So we're at his backyard cookout in Fresno last month, and I pull out a $20 to pay him back for the ice and charcoal, and he waves it off and says nobody carries paper money anymore and I'm just making life harder for myself. I told him the $340 I spent on groceries in cash last month was money I couldn't accidentally spend online at midnight, and he kinda laughed at me in front of his buddies. Here's the thing though, my card got skimmed at a gas station in 2019 and I ate a $600 hit while the bank "investigated" for five weeks, so I'll take the hassle of ATM trips. Anyone else get called old fashioned by family at a cookout, and how do you answer it without starting a whole thing?
