      lol, don’t be too sure. I traveled around Europe a couple decades ago and people would roll their eyes and get irritated if you used a debit/credit. Now paying with your phone or card is ubiquitous and I rarely see cash transactions, the ones mostly using those are the older Hausfrau in the checkout line with the actual cashier and not self-checkout. It’s a very short leap to no-cash in an occasional establishment.

        The Germans love their Hartgeld, which is why I think it will never go away completely. But yeah it definitely has gotten more common over the last years.
