Do kids in the US not have wallets? I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t have one (in Germany)
Germany is the land of cash. All of Europe has adopted digital payment almost everywhere.
Germany has many businesses where cash only is normal.
Sounds smart
Well avoiding taxes is much easier with cash.
Though I don't think this is the main reason.
Probably our shitty phone network. Those digital card readers need a good connection to work and in Germany we have many areas where they just don't work. So cash only.
In Norway accepting tapping became mandatory from 21, so no one here carries one. The older generations that haven't activated Vipps carries a card or two on their phone, but seeing someone under 70 carrying a wallet is rare.
Yes but that's because you live in Norway, a horrible place where all the men look like walruses and the women smell of fish.
Lol what
You take that back! Norway is the land of mead and honeys and where I want to escape to if I can get out of this godforsaken hellhole pretending to be a democracy. Don't take away my only hope of a life away from the US. I want to live between a mountain and the sea, only be able to buy alcohol 10:00-18:00 M-F, and go to the municipal pool and sit in a "hot tub" that is cooler than bath water listening to a German complain that "no one uses cash around here"!
*Cries in for-profit healthcare and regulatory capture*
Haaland is the exception, not the rule.
They might not use a traditional folding one a lot of the time. They have those intrusion protected card holder things that are essentially the "modern wallet" that better protect the physical cards from damage, and also prevents someone using the NFC stuff to steal your money without even having to dip your pocket.
Yeah, because paying by card isn't an option everywhere in Germany. The only time I carry cash is when I visit Germany.
