> A true German would have put down cash, and seen that as a flex perhaps. (Or at least would have done so in the past. I haven't lived there in a while.) Things had changed quite a bit here. Card usage is now a default everywhere(including those pesky shops that used to put a "cash-only" signs). Only hardcore grannies now use cash these days, but even I see a lot of oma/opa pulling out their Sparkasse cards at the counter.
