Aren't you using a debit card, not a credit card? Those are very popular in NL too. There are even some shops that don't accept cash anymore (something I think that should be made illegal, but that's a different story), although on the other hand there are shops that only accept cash.
- idiot_stick 10y ago>something I think that should be made illegal, but that's a different story Why does everything need to be made illegal? If you aren't satisfied with the service a shop provides, don't shop there.

- closeparen 10y agoThis is why in the US we have debit cards that behave like credit cards in every way except the credit line (and don't cut you in on the transaction fee). Very popular with teenagers and people who are afraid of credit (possibly for good reason). Cash is legal tender for all debts. If you owe someone money without a prior agreement on form of payment, they must accept cash payments. They're under no obligation to make a transaction in the first place if you don't agree on payment method.
