I went to a supermarket in Rotterdam. I asked did they accept card before I shopped. Yes. I went to the. Checkout. She didn’t accept either of my credit cards. Debit card only she told me. I tried my debit card. No luck. I almost walked out and left my €17 worth of items but there was a cash machine. I wound up paying €23 for those groceries. Highway robbery. I was not impressed. This was the only time this happened anywhere in Europe.
