Yeaah literally no cashier has ever seen these payments, apparently. H&M, Uniqlo, gas stations, Kaufland, Rewe, the list is just infinite.

I worked for 1 week at a Kaufland (you could compare it to Eroski/Carrefour/Walmart) as cashier and I have never seen anybody else except me pay contacless so no wonder they get surprised all the time :)

Had the same. Was shopping at a supermarket in Germany and was the first person to use it apparently. Was then forced to sign (even though there was no indication that I would have to sign and doing so doesn't make sense for contactless payments). I tried to protest but had to catch my train so scribbled something random..
