How do I use my Girocard for the first time?
Hello, I'm incredibly stupid and easily prone to panic attacks around people. I hate change and have to plan everything carefully in advance.
After two years, I have to pay with a card for the first time and would like to practice right away.
What do i have to do?
Do I have to do this the first time I use an ATM? (I'd hate to do that, because I never go into a bank and I'm already familiar with the environment in a store. If I have to go into a bank: Are there different types of ATMs? Which one is the right one, and which buttons do I have to press? What does the ATM want to know from me?)
I'll probably have to insert the card into the reader like a health insurance card and then enter the PIN. Will I be told when to enter the PIN, or is it written on the device?
Is there a risk that it will beep loudly if I do something wrong?
What is the minimum amount so that I can definitely pay by card?
(I know I'm really stupid and unable to function as an adult)
Thank you for your answers!

Go to the supermarket and buy. When the goods are scanned and the cashier calls the amount, the cashier is so that you have to hold the card somewhere, but you can make too much wrong. Say “with card, please”, then the cashier inserts the pay machine so that you can put the card in. You don’t do that until you read the amount on the display. A chip can be seen on the map. Put this end of the card in, so that the chip can be seen on the top. Then it is on the display that you should enter the PIN, you do, and after each digit a star appears. Then press the green OK button at the bottom left. If you have tipped you, there is a yellow correction button. You can even withdraw up to EUR 200 from your account at many supermarket banks. Tell the cashier the advance payment, and she will cash a correspondingly higher amount from your card and pay you the cash. Do not forget the card in the payment machine!
By the way, I suspect you’re not stupid, but you’re terribly upset about something.
You take your card and hold it to the reader for 1-2 seconds. You can’t do anything wrong.
The first time, you probably have to enter your PIN.
