But he was detained and fined due to not declaring the watch. Likely he hadn’t opened his credit card to that kind of spend on another continent, or he had an Amex which tends to work poorly in many different places in Europe. I’m also sure he could’ve gotten an invoice as well but likely just wanted it sorted out directly.
I disagree in this case, he tried to pay and he had to hunt down 2 different ATMs because the Customs office couldn’t accept his credit card.
