Germans are so stubborn

[lonelyjak]

The internet here is appalling for the biggest economy in europe

Most of the country still uses physical paperwork. why?

A good proportion of vendors still don't accept card. again, why?

Real odd country in many ways. Shopkeepers are overtly rude to people or dismissive on a level that would get you fired in the UK. Maybe that's more of an eastern thing, which would make sense.

It's like the country is completely torn between luddite conservatism and progressive environmentalism.

I often wonder if residual germanic personality traits still exist in the US since we have a large population descended from germans
