Everyone is talking about contactless payments using crypto, and they think they'll go to the grocery store and pay with USDC or even ETH. I don't think this is going to happen (anytime soon), simply because the grocery store will not offer the option (for the same reason they may not support Diners for example, or some exotic card issued in an other country).
However, we **will** be able to pay each other with crypto. As soon as wallets support NFC transactions, we will be able to bump our iPhones to initiate a transaction. And, yes, in crypto events, we will probably be able to pay for our coffee and t-shirts.
Being able to send someone stables or ETH just by bumping our phones, will make crypto much more valuable and it will probably change the way we perceive it. BTW, it can also have network effects, when the tx will happens in public: "Wait, how did you send him money? What is USDC?"
