“Surely if you are on holiday in Greece and do not have a Greece Bank Account. you just "pay by card" …”
I don’t know about the mainland but on most of the Greek islands very few outlets accept anything other than cash. Which is probably part of their malaise because I doubt that 50% of their takings goes “through the books” and is thus subject to tax.
“A horrible time for the poor Greek people…”
The “poor Greek people” firstly elected a government that took them into the single currency under false pretences by falsifying (with the connivance of some of the banks) their true fiscal position. Also they were given too many euros for their Drachmas (whereas in fact they should not have been allowed to join the single currency at all).
Then they elected a government which oversaw public and personal borrowing at stupendous levels in a currency that they could not afford and which their economy did not support. Most of the money borrowed by the government was wasted.
Finally they elected a government whose manifesto openly declared a plan to do what they have just done – to stick two fingers up to the EU and their creditors, refuse to make any meaningful reforms whilst still insisting on vast sums of money being delivered from other Eurozone nations each month. All through this they lived with a system that was riddled with corruption, employed a bloated State workforce and which left uncollected vast sums of the proper taxes due.
Whilst I accept that none of this is the fault of any individual Greek, collectively along with their government they are responsible for this current state of affairs.

according to reports on twitter, martin schulz, european parliament president, is urging the greek people to vote "yes" on sunday.
which kinda implies the vote is being afforded a legitimacy that it wasn't being extended over the weekend. which implies that the banks need to wait until after sunday, and that tomorrow's deadline means jack.

Stating the obvious I know but it ain't looking good.
