So I set up Google Pay last night out of interest and.. is it any good? The thing that bothers me with it is that apparently it pretends to be mastercard when you link your PayPal, and a lot of stores here only take maestro so that might be a problem for me

I use g-pay all the time, linked to both my main bank account and to my day-to-day card. Sometimes it doesn't work, but that's rare these days. Certainly I encounter more "cash only" places in Germany than I encountered places which took contactless but not g-pay.

What do you say to the employee? Socially anxious me is scared of that. I usually say "with card, please", but I can't say that if I'm not using a card. Do I say "contactless, please"?

Just say with card as usual. If it supports contactless/g-pay, the icon on the screen with show a little hand above some waves and just tap your phone. Just remember the limit for contactless is about 30-40โ‚ฌ?

Replying to @KitsuneKihira @Ellpeck
The limit varies by clearing house. In the UK it's possible that the limit is super-high if you unlock your phone with two-factor first. I've spent over a hundred pounds in one contactless transaction with my phone.
