Interestingly at least in my experience this seems to be changing rapidly in just a few months since more girocards (which have much lower fees than credit cards) have gotten RFID. Suddenly it's so much faster at the checkout (no pin below about 30€) and no fumbling to get it in right that it turned at least my shopping from 80% cash to 10% cash. The only thing I now regularly pay cash is the food in the cafeteria, it's always 5€ so no coins and they don't take cards anyway. Also one huge issue with girocards before this change was, that the cashier first had to press a button to enable the terminal for cards and if you had out inserted already you would have to take it out and in again. That was super awkward every time
