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.

I have a rec league hockey game tonight.  I have a game every week, so not much of an adventure really.

But what's different is tonight game is at West Edmonton Mall.  Reportedly the biggest mall in North America.

Wiki suggests the other mall they own, Mall of America, is the largest though fewer shops.

When I googled "biggest mall in north america" I get half the hits saying WEM, the other half saying MOA.

I don't even like WEM and I avoid shopping there so I don't care who gets the title.  It's just a weird experience to play rec hockey in a mall.  Reportedly it has really crappy ice since the air temperature is so warm (due to it being a mall).

On the plus side, after the game there's probably a decent chance our team goes out to grab drinks at one of the many restaurants/bars attached to the mall.  As long as they don't mind us bringing our stinky hockey gear with us.

I've never seen one, but can guess you're correct in all matters relating to bar quality; they sound terrible.
