Düsseldorf - Germany 🇩🇪 - Full Series

[@vespista1971]

Germany has been the slowest Western European country to let go of cash transactions and move to cards. The reason some places will only take a card if you spend at least €10 or €20 is not to avoid taxes, but because the banks that issue those cards charge transaction fees. So if the transaction is for a very small amount, the fee makes it so that the merchant makes nothing or not much after paying it. It used to be that way in the US too, and very occasionally I still see the policy in use, usually at very small independent vendors. But most companies have just decided that they’d rather have your business than have you walk away, (or worse, get angry), because you want to buy something there but have no cash, just a card. Also, the pandemic moved things even more towards cards here (US), b/c everyone was going in the “touchless” direction. So now, even places that you always previously knew you’d have to have cash to enjoy, like little church festivals for example, even they have mostly adapted to having card readers at each booth.
