In a well-known place in Marina Piccola I ordered a slice of watermelon (7 euro) and, since I saw the POS, I asked to pay by card. but the answer I received was that they could only accept card payments for imports equal and above 25 euro (this was not specified anywhere). I was encouraged to walk 500 mt to the closest cash point and, after I refused this absurd thing, they took away the watermelon. I moved to the next bar-restaurant called “Da Gioia” and I asked if I could pay by card a slice of watermelon that here costs 4 euro, and the answer was yes. This way I learnt that this is the less expensive place in all Marina Piccola.
