I moved from the Netherlands (one of the most cashless countries in Europe) to Berlin 3 years ago. I invite anyone doubting the convenience of cards, specifically contacless ones, over cash to join me for a regular morning of shopping groceries in Berlin and then in my hometown in NL. You will be cured.
