That's a great way to spread awareness at the very least, although I wouldn't do this because I don't spend bitcoin anymore.  There's more to be potentially gained by *not* spending it than there is to spend it in place of cash.  And I am not such a big bitcoin holder that I have so much to blow on things, nor do I have an easy way to buy back what I would spend like some people have suggested you do when you use bitcoin for things.

But as I said, asking businesses if they take bitcoin is good for keeping it in people's minds, or at least getting them to think about it to begin with.  I think most people probably have at least heard of it, but some might not have.

I think we are very near to that. Bitcoin will be going to accept all over the world once adopt bitcoin as a legal tender and you are giving some curiosity about bitcoin because you and your friends are asking wherever you go shop something and you ask about accepting bitcoin so that will create some curiosity about them to know the bitcoins. I am also doing the same thing to give an invite to my friends to come into crypto world and use Crypto.

this is a good idea, I am a shy person sometimes I am embarrassed if I say something to the cashier especially I am a person who does not like shopping, I am not an easy person to say something in public, I usually ask some of my friends to go shopping sometimes I give tips for him , but I might try this idea to ask my friend to tell the cashier "Can I pay in Bitcoin here?"

I figure you are doing that in Germany (looking over your posting history). There seems to be a bunch of places there that do accept Bitcoin there (play around with https://coinmap.org/view/#/map/52.51732782/13.38885990/11, although I do  not know how accurate the information there is), so one day you’ll likely hit a place that accepts Bitcoin, and you will be left with the dilemma of whether to really payout in BTC then and there ...

there are several stores that provide payment with bitcoin, You can check it in this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0 but in my opinion bitcoin is more suitable as an investment than payment, because the value of bitcoin is very volatile.
That is not the point, but this is the point:
This is extremely helpful to the Bitcoin community itself.
It will help the adoption and you are right that a single question can reach dozen of people since they will become curious about Bitcoin once they hear that, especiall you asking it for payment.

Oh yeah, I love this initiative. This is extremely helpful to the Bitcoin community itself.

Me and my friends go over to asking the staff every time we have to pay a bill somewhere at the checkout if we can pay with Bitcoin. Of course the answer is always no. We are much more concerned with raising awareness among the general public about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Because we often see that shortly after this question, employees tell their colleagues about this presence, and they will almost certainly do so at home.  A single question can reach dozens of people and Bitcoin is becoming more aware.

So: go out and invest those few seconds during each payment process to push the Bitcoin!
