Cash is king

Oldfashioned me? Haha. Today I ventured out of Zürich to join some friends in a park and I needed to buy an extension ticket for outside of zone 10 where I live. The cost was 8.40. I didn't have coins, and the machine only gives change on a 20 bill. I started to walk to a kiosk to change my 100 francs bill before I realized the machine actually takes cards.

I think I'm probably the only one not immediately thinking that credit cards mean payment.

It's not actually a credit card, might be called debit card. The money is immediately drawn from my account.
