A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
In the UK, most independent shops prefer cash to avoid paying EFTPOS fees. It's therefore common to see "Cash is King" signs by the tills. In fact, some businesses (e.g. fish and chip shops and barbers) retain cash-only policies.
Edit: grammar.
In the US credit cards are the most common, which typically charge the merchants a 3-5% processing fee, so I’ve seen more and more places offering a discount for paying with cash.
Italy: transactions under 10€ rarely (if ever) have any fees.
Over 10€ is still rare for them to have any fee, but even if they have, they are usually so small that nobody considers them. In fact, if someone prefers cash, I automatically think they want to avoid taxes (mostly VAT).
In Germany this is also the case in the surface. In reality it's just easier to avoid taxes with cash
