Travis J. Todd’s Story

So, long story short...
While Travis J. Todd was moving to Europe
Travis J. Todd made the mistake of
trying to use a credit card at IKEA
My Advice to You is
do a little research beforehand, and bring someone with a Debit card.
Here's the whole story
Seriously, what is Europe's aversion to credit cards?! I'm used to not being able to pay in restaurants and markets, but at IKEA?!
I mean, yeah most the stuff is relatively cheap, but they're also selling $4000 couches. How am I supposed to pay for that in cash?
Rant over, I went to IKEA the other day to get some stuff for my new apartment and only spent about €200 on some various things, but when we got to the checkout I was told no credit cards. Completely slack-jawed, I was lucky my girlfriend was there with her German Debit card. Now I owe her a back rub and €200!

You'd figure Europe would have more places to use a CC then America.
back rub = code for sexy time?
Some things they're way ahead on and some things they're way behind. And no, at least <em>I</em> get something out of "sexy time." Back rub is allll her...
