time to take back the hashtag #IndyWales and use it as a way to declare that the English are casting off the oppressive yoke of their Welsh overlords

This isn't a boomer thing, Wed/Sun shop closing was common in NI upto the 90s. gently caress, most shops closed on Sundays until the mid-late 00s, until big supermarkets forced them to open to compete.

Almost none of the cash machines in Amsterdam are operational right now because there were 70 ATM bombing-robberies in 2019 and they decided to close the rest until they developed bomb-proof ones (which was delayed due to COVID) I read in the news the other day that they have developed and soon will be testing a new type of deposit-ATM where it will no longer be possible to insert explosives that might kill the the next client, but it's been more or less impossible to pin for cash for the past year Welcome to the new heart of European finance

They just really really hate credit cards for weird German cheapdad reasons of "it costs 45 eurocents more" and "promotes immoral spending of money people don't have". It's just that weird German low fee debit card federated with nothing so non residents have to pay all cash. When I went to Ireland after like 3 years of business trips to Munich, it took me like 3 day to convince myself it wasn't an elaborate trick that everyone was fine with credit cards and also smiling at me.

gonadic io posted:I've had issues before where my UK debit card transformed into a credit card in some EU counties or something??? I had that with my Egyptian bank debit card. It transformed into a credit card in the UK (or, to be more precise, the rules UK POS machines etc applied to it were credit card rules so eg no cashback at the supermarket.) When I lived in Germany (1970s), shops closed fully on Sundays and half day on Saturdays except for one Saturday a month 'langstam Samstag' (I might have misremembered 'langstam'.)

Trashman posted:this is good actually, having everything closed on Sunday is nice, everyone has a day off. and going one further no one does DYI either, so Sunday is a for real rest day for everyone. chill and good. You weren't allowed to use lawnmowers (well ones with motors anyway), hang out washing on Sundays either! I don't know if those rules still apply. bedpan posted:this is why I only carry traveler's checks when I am away from home Do those still exist?

It's just that weird German low fee debit card federated with nothing so non residents have to pay all cash. A German friend of mine tells me this is leftover cultural damage from '20s hyperinflation. He called it being a "debt sinner". Germans in general hate being in debt I guess and will go to great lengths to avoid it. I thought that was farfetched until I remembered how weird my Dad was about holding onto material goods and not wasting food - his dad grew up in poverty during the Depression and that left a lasting mark even after he found his way to a comfortable life.

imo shops closed on sundays is better means people don't have to work sundays, i.e. most people can expect to have one day off along with most other people

Our pay was deposited into my account at the Disney-owned bank, and I had a debit card that turned into a credit card upon return to Norway. I withdrew about $2,700 before someone on the other end figured out something was wrong. Good times.
