1. In the past month, I've been at two bakeries here in Germany....which had signs up...saying 'EC-Karten-Zahlung-ab 10 Euro'....meaning if you were going to buy something with the EC card, then it has to be a minimum of 10 Euro.
Over the past five years...a LOT of Germans got use to using the cash card (EC card), and it was for coffee and a pastry (usually not more than 4 Euro).
So the small operations have reached a point on cost of transactions....where they need you to spend more.
2. WELT piece this AM....both members of the coalition (CDU/CSU-SPD).....admit now that they equally are getting screwed on poll numbers....losing public support.
3. The federal statistics office of Germany came up and said....near 70,000 Germans do not have healthcare insurance...even though it's mandated.
