After making a special visit to this stationers to purchase some new pens, I was extremely disappointed to find out that I couldn't pay for them on a credit card as I had only spent €17! I was told for such a small amount I could only pay by cash or debit card. I didn't think that €17 was a small amount and I didn't want to use either! I was told it would cost them €3 for the transaction, which seems a ridiculously high charge from a credit card company. I'm here on vacation and have a good credit card that gives me the best rate of exchange and no fees, so I always use it for my travels.
Sadly, they were happy for me to walk out with out spending anything or even considering returning for future purchases. I definitely won't be back. read more
