Bullshit. It's not as popular as in the US, but it's not like credit cards are unheard of here.

At least in Italy, Spain and Germany people mostly use debit cards, and usually not for groceries, but for online purchases.
They're not unheard of, but most people use them primarily for international online payments, and not for groceries.
