Well,in my experience it was the case for the 2 largest supermarket chains. We lost electricity at 12:30pm and only got it back during the night at 3am.

But both major supermarkets nearby worked on diesel generators and payment by card worked flawlessly. I guess they had satellite connection.

It might have been more complicated in small villages but people living in rural areas ually still use a lot of cash.
