Once upon a time your supplier didn't accept Bitcoin either, and be either researched it himself and adopted it, or someone orange-pilled him.
It's understandable you don't have the patience to educate and redpill people on privacy. Although I would say that is unfortunate, because lack of awareness about its importance is exactly why we are where we are today, and it was all so predictable and avoidable.
Also, to you and anyone else who happens to read, get into your head that most Monero users are not maxis, we care about PRIVACY and ANONYMITY, and we believe Monero is the best financial tool for that purpose at the moment.
I won't go into the pro/cons and up/downsides of Monero vs Lightning, so I will just say to you, I am just as happy if at least you use lightning when you pay your supplier.
Help normalize privacy. That's all most of us (also most of us use or at least hold Bitcoin too, often at a 90:1 or even bigger ratio, by the way) are asking for.
It's the normalization of reckless transparency that criminalizes people like me. We just want to do our thing and be left alone. Nothing shady (mostly lol), nothing special, but I have a right to do my business and my transactions without doxxing everything to government, corporations, and on a transparent chain, literally to the whole world in perpetuity.
It's not too much to ask. Right?
