I was a little surprised as I hadn't seen anyone pay cash for a drink in a very long time, I didn't want to question them as I don't really care, but it seemed really irregular and when I paid with a 10 he made change using his personal wallet.

strange? normal?
Ask for a receipt. No cash transaction on board has been implemented for a while already, cannot recall the dates.
