Think it is a bootstrapping problem on clearnet. Not many people ask to pay with Monero, so not many merchant implement it. Not many merchant accept, so fewer people have it. https://monerica.com/ maintains a list of some places to spend Monero.

Wow thanks, great directory.
Online payments are absolutely a problem but at least to my knowledge there aren’t any „real life“ vendors available in most German cities.
Paying with cash, debit and kredit is no problem, even those stupid bonus or cashback programs, but simply scanning a QR code and paying by wallet ain’t possible.
Maybe it’s a problem of supplying suitable hardware that integrates in the register system?
Or is it just regulations?
