I went swimming again today with Rozy. We approached the ticket desk and our tariff for being less than 26 years old is 1.70. I gave the frigid you-know-what a 20 euro note and .70 centimes. She asked me if I had a carte bleue, which is the credit card most widely accepted in Europe, with the special chip in it for most European credit/debit machines. I gave her a confused look and said yes, and handed over my card.
She then proceeded to swipe my card and handed me a receipt.
Because it makes so much more sense to put 1.70 on a debit card versus paying in cash?? Never ever have I been in a country where the "exact amount" of money was so necessary. Or a country that didn't accept a 20 dollar/euro/forint/pound note.

If only it were the first time that has happened to me in France.....
LOL Most people here would dig change not to have to use their card for something priced so low.
