#27 - Do you accept credit cards?

I was going to have a short meeting at Copenhagen. Flying-in early morning and flying back to home the same evening. I did not bother exchanging any money for such a short trip. When you come from Finland, you are used to use credit card everywhere.

I entered taxi at the airport and asked if credit card is accepted. The answer was no.

I had no money and credit card was not accepted, so what should I do? After a quick analysis I said to taxi drive that let’s go. While the taxi arrived at the office, I gave my credit card and the driver picked up the old fashioned credit card machine from the trunk of the car. No problems paying with credit card. Risk taking was the right way to go.

Lessons learned:

Controlled risk taking is often rewarded.
