Can’t speak for other countries, but in France and Northern Italy this is the same: contactless cards everywhere. I live in France and --I have to check my banking app to check this because I don’t remember-- the last time I went to a cash machine was almost one year ago.
- SSLy 5y agoSame for Poland, and what I've heard, Sweden.
- theshrike79 5y agoDitto for Finland. Contactless cards or mobile phone payments work everywhere. I haven't touched cash ever since covid hit, and very rarely before it.
- mrep 5y agoI'm in the US and the only time I can remember going to an ATM in the past 5 years is because farmers markets sometimes give you discounts > credit card rewards for cash and weed shops cannot use banks so you have to pay cash.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoIMO farmers markets would disappear if they stopped using cash. It's basically synonym for tax avoidance sprinkled with some fraudulent claims how your honey cures everything.
- mrep 5y agoI totally agree farmers markets are all about tax avoidance. They would charge me the flat dollar amount for cash but then add in the tax when I used a card. No way they are paying taxes on that cash transaction.
