Why can you pay with euros in Switzerland but not with Swiss francs in Germany?
I find that racist

In Switzerland, the euro is the official currency alongside the Swiss franc. Therefore, both currencies can be used in Switzerland. In Germany, however, the euro is the only official currency and Swiss francs cannot be used here.
This has nothing to do with racism. https://www.duden.de/legislation/racism?amp
As long as there is no monetary union, a currency other than that of the country itself cannot become the 'official currency'. The euro will be accepted in almost all areas of life in Switzerland – "official" is nothing. No business would be obliged to accept this and there are still those who do not. Few, but there are. In addition, you will always receive your change in CHF in Switzerland. If it were an official currency, you would also get it back in euros.
If I am in Germany, I can also pay CHF in the border regions. The same applies there too: A business can accept the CHF, but does not have to. THAT the foreign currency is only due to the fact that you do not want to mess with the corresponding customers. But in no case can there be talk of “must”.
In Austria you can pay in many shops Vorarlberg with Swiss francs 💪

This has nothing to do with racism. The euro is a widespread currency in Europe, while the Swiss franc is a purely national currency.
It was therefore up to us Swiss to recognize the euro as a means of payment (at least in larger shops). In addition to francs, the ATMs also provide Euros.
A certain mobility in finance will be told to us Swiss, so new is not.

You can often pay with Euros in Switzerland. However, the exchange rate is bad and the refund is always in our currency.
"Reversely, the German companies in the border area also took the franc for payment.
You mean the return money.
If you're already trying with vocabulary, you should stay in the high German language with "change money" 😉
Oh, yes, how can I just… . Thank you very much for your attention and correction.
Maybe you shouldn't interfere everywhere! The user corrected his text. He and I are both Swiss and the word choice is correct in written language.
Currency is not races, nationalities are not.
It's not racist! It is an effort for the shops that are hardly worth it. In Switzerland, you can't pay anywhere with Euros. This is because the euro is very widespread. Also with other currencies you can't pay in CH. Maybe with dollars.
Because in Switzerland you are almost everywhere near a euro country, you are used to the euro, but you cannot pay anywhere with it, not even close to the border.
In the border areas in Germany, you can also often pay with Swiss francs.
Racism is completely different.
It is cunning or In terms of business, if you as a trader are allowed a means of payment that is not valid in the country and the effort with the exchange and billing is taken up.
The guy feels racist insult when you ask him how much time it is…
You can pay CHF along the Rhine on the German side in EVERY store. That's what happened in 2005.
Google after racism and think about it again. Why don't you take a fight? In Konstanz some dealers accept CHF. Who pays in cash, he suffers losses due to bad exchange rate. And that is not racism, that is reality everywhere.
The trusted buyers use credit cards, and this is not racism, that is "awareness."
Because the Swiss want others to shop in their country. Buying Swiss in Germany is clear at prices in Switzerland.
You should let yourself know what the word means.
Yes, today, everyone gets out a well-sounding term he's ever heard on Tiktok. How does a Zuricher opt out of a Freiburger?
Little note, it is called Zurich, not Zurich.
What do currencies have to do with “roots”?
No one can everywhere in Switzerland with Euro, still No in Germany with Franc
These are trade agreements and have nothing to do with racism.
Each trader can decide whether to accept foreign currencies and because he has to exchange the cujambels at the bank in EUR, he grants the customer only a bad exchange rate. He doesn't have to agree with anyone.
Yes, because he agreed to accept the money on the terms and conditions.
I find it racist
Don't write what you don't know what that is
Hello! Because Swiss francs are a national currency, Euro is an international currency
Good day
