Since May 24th people have been unable to pay by card in many major German retailers, apparently due to a difficult-to-update expired certificate in a popular EOL'd payment terminal (Verifone H5000)

www.thelocal.de

Cash is king. It’s anonymous and does not crash like online payment systems do. It’s great.
