I think the last time I went to Lidl, they took only debit or cash, but that has changed (now they take Visa and Mastercard along with Maestro).

Oh, I forgot that EU got the interchange flattened. So, again, I am unsure why there would be any stores not taking regular Mastercard and Visa along with the debit networks.

So, I really think the issue is outdated (well at least for the length of the EU agreement with Visa and MC).
