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.
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.
