thanks for your insight. it definitely makes more sense than what i said lol. I try to give them something easy to give change with, but I just absolutely hate working with cash. i tend to use my card whenever i can.

i noticed the german addiction to carbonated drinks too. in all the vending machines at my work, they only sell carbonated drinks. whether it’s water, juice, what have you. it’s all carbonated. the carbonated water doesn’t even taste that good either…

I personally dislike this habit and envy the finnish people who got rif of the useless 1 and 2c coins.

p.s.: i stumbled over your blog because I wanted to find out if i’m the only one who find the german addiction to carbonated water very weird
