My journal was filled with plenty of cash receipts from our most recent trip to Franconia, where we also ate out a few times. One such place, a very nice wine tavern called Korkenzieher (corkscrew) near my former apartment in Schweinfurt, was revisited by us for old times sake.

Before junking the receipts, I got to take a quick look at the one from Korkenzieher, and realized they still posted the amount charged in Deutsch Mark. We have had the Euro since 2002 and therefore was very surprised to find a business still converting the charge.

Korkenzieher cash receipt

We paid € 15,30 and below it in smaller print, you can see DM 29,92.

I wonder how many other businesses in Germany still do this.

In France, I noticed quite a few supermarkets still listed the FF price on their receipts a couple of years ago.

I guess some habits, or currencies, are hard to break.
