Gen z here... Everyone around me has wallets

Tbf I am in Berlin, the cash capital of the world, but still.

Yeah, that is bullshit. For Germany at least.

Germany is a backwards nightmare coming from the UK. No self checkout with contactless payment. Instead you queue behind 5 people in Reve, each one counting out coins to pay exactly for whatever they've bought.

I prefer self checkout too so I'm not bothered, but it's really not a big deal.

No self checkout with contactless payment.

Where I am there are no self checkouts with cash payment.

Rewe added self checkout this year.

Excellent news. Just the public transport tickets left to fix. Why on earth did they emulate paper ticket strips in the transport payment apps?

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Probably, so they work with the existing infrastructure.

Not every phone has NFC. Even from 2022.
