In my country, the bitcoin is not used too much in the exchange of real life products. It's rare, you know, at the moment, I only know one coffee store accepts bitcoin to be paid. In some countries, you must changes it to that country's currency for using.
I think it's good enough to use bitcoin in online - shops. But I hope oneday, when all the people know about bitcoin, we can use it in real life, that's good signal for our life.

Also I think we need to think about the possible consequences of using bitcoin for transactions on the physical world, if you want anonymity then most transactions like buying a coffee are out of the question since most of those places have cameras and could be used to identify you and link you to that address and any transaction coming from that address.

I think the main reason why bitcoin is created, is because of being an another currency who will serve as a back up from our primary money or fiat. Anonymity is not the main concern because you can still have that feature because not all the stores record your transactions between them, it doesn't matter if they have cameras or cctvs because still, they can't trace wherever you go by just using bitcoin address and also they can't tell who you are because in the stores, they are just concern for your money and not identity.

Not all the stores have cameras that is true but for someone looking for anonymity the risk is too high, since you dont have the luxury of making any mistakes, the first mistake could be the one that ends your anonymity, personally I dont care too much about that, but some may.
