Holland is pretty, Holland is nice... But what the heck they don't accept neither credit nor debit cards in stores?! Instead, they have some freakin' "banking pass", kind of debit card with a built-in microchip. They say, accepting credit cards is too expensive for them.
Luckily, I had some eurocash with me.
Shit.

Apparently, you are in a very small town. I'm visiting the Netherlands every year and haven't got any troubles with credit cards.

Thanks for that note! Hope I won't get in this trouble in Amsterdam when traveling to Paris and back home.

Sure, you won't!

Since when???

They definitely accepted credit cards in 2006.

Poor thing :-)

You're right :-) After two glasses of fine Belgian beer I have finally ended up thinking positive :)

I think this is a reality of a small town, where a local supermarket with outrageous prices is a monopolist.
Can you imagine, the beef filet at 32 euros a kg?!!!
But I bought some cheap ground beef and fish on sale :)
And finally had some beer!

Может, после того, как им тут поиграют еще и клезмеры в нашем лице, цена на говяжье филе еще подымется. :-))
