“Hybrid” Italian store
Unlike in the States, in Italy you cannot use your debit card to get cash back at a store. Credit card payments are becoming more and more popular, but you should always have enough cash with you to do your shopping, just in case they don’t accept debit or credit cards. A good rule of thumb is to ask whether or not they accept your card before you shop.
