Impressions from a trip to Germany

Dear fellow resident German citizens!

Is it really and completely normal for you that

  • the stamp vending machines of the German Post still return the change in worthless stamps only?
  • a post counter hosted in a supermarket and tended by the personnel of the supermarket closes at 18:30, even though the supermarket itself is open until 20:00?
  • many shops don’t accept card payments even for larger purchases?
  • half of the shops which do accept cards only accept certain cards, but no VISA?
  • you are looked at stupidly when paying with counted cash down to the cent?
