Lot easier to steal someone's cash than it is online money, also a lot easier to drop a fiver or a tenner compared to "dropping" money from an account online.
When I worked for Barclays in retail banking on Fleet Street we'd process so much change from people and companies it started to get in the way of people that genuinely needed banking help instead of just processing cash. I found the people who didn't want to use the machines were almost always older people who still didn't "trust online banking and machines" and yet trusted an often very hungover 23 year old to be able to correctly process all their transactions for them.
No idea why NatWest didn't take your cash @Arsenetatters but it might have also been to do with their timings back of house, often people I work with would chance it and close the back office and till half an hour to an hour early in the hopes of getting out on time and being able to get down the pub
I'm 67 and use my banking app daily to check my account, use my debit card to pay for most things. I use my phone to pay for parking and where they are installed use hand held scanners to do my shopping, technology can make life so much easier.

I worked for Barclays for 20 years and Lloyds for 10 years and I’m afraid I find it hard to believe your last paragraph.
The bottom rung staff just decide to stop working an hour early so they can go down the pub and the manager allows it.

Agreed. Until it goes wrong.
