Is paying with cash important?

I recently renewed my passport. Only thing I had to remember was bringing my old (still valid) passport.

Well, you can pay cash or credit card. My bank card should technically work as credit card but didn't want to chance it.

If I was living in Germany I'd only need the old documents and a new picture, too.

Germany is the country which insisted on 500 euro notes being a thing.
Because reasons.
Though I recently read they were being phased out and figured Germany had modernised?

Dunno, haven't been in The Old Country in over 15 years.

Last time I renewed my Cartão the Cidadão (ID) free at the consulate or in Portugal) or passport it was credit card but cash is also accepted I think.
No need for photos, photo at the consulate and it is digitised.

I always forget to get some cash when I go to Germany. It is improving, but most people still insist on using it and plenty of places will only take cash.
The supermarket queues are particularly horrendous.

So German inefficiency vs Brit paying for stuff on the never, never.

Came across some pigs pannaging in the forest today; Autumn has definitively arrived.
