There are pin problems throughout the Netherlands. People are unable to pin in Albert Heijn stores, among other things. This ensures long lines in the supermarket.
A spokesman for Ahold, which includes Albert Heijn, says that he is dealing with 'an internal problem'. But customers of the Lidl and the Blokker also report that they have problems with pins.
In addition, employees of the NS (Dutch railways) at various stations are calling this a country-wide breakdown. The Payment Association Netherlands has RTL Nieuws to find out exactly where the problem is.
Long rows Many people on social media are writing about the disturbance. For example, long lines can be seen in the supermarket on videos and photos because people have problems with pins.
There is no way they get the digital ID in place let they know want. Way too much testing would need to happen.
they totally cocked-up their testing here. the covid app was supposed to be a done deal, paid a fortune for it, and for a country with great IT, the covid app was messed up.
For sure.
To completely centralize a digital coin like they want. I just don't see how they can pull that off now.
They needed to slowly get adaption while they fix the bugs. Something like this would be a 10+ year plan easily.
Fun part: On the 27th I was on south station in Amsterdam,and a long line of young people was present at the toilets. The machine granting access typically allows for payment with coins and swiping of bankcard. The latter was out of order.
Young people had no coins in their wallets. Bad luck, chumps.
Posted this Sunday, 'pin only' terraces empty while where you could use cash, terraces were full. Today we have a country-wide 'pin' breakdown and the ATMs will soon run out https://greatawakening.win/p/16b5zUvSdU/bwahaha-dutch-cucks-cucked-the-e/ Update: system largely functional again, still lots of problems paying digitally but a lot less. Down for more than 3 hours.
