At our store’s checkouts you cannot get cash anymore when you self-checkout. It normally has to be by card only, accepting no cash.
I thought WalMart was for illegals only.
Just that one store because they didn’t get cash deliveries.......misleading headline.
Walmart has shown some serious mismanagement dating from awhile after Sam Walton left
I have a hard time believing that any Walmart would not accept exact change.
How much exact change would you be willing to bet taht I am wrong ?
Our local Walmart accepts cash. I see fewer and fewer people using cash but one can use it.
Paid cash at WallyMart yesterday, no problemo.
Apparently the pandemic has caused a nationwide shortage of coin change. That's the excuse, anyway. Maybe WalMart just forgot to pay their Brinks bill.
Walmart took cash this morning.
Why do you need to lie?
Given the IRS’s moves to monitor everyday Americans’ bank accounts, who will likely move to cash, they will lose business.
I swear, with everything going on, Sam Walton must be turning over in his grave.
Steal what you need. Keep it under $900
Neither the self check out nor manned registers were accepting – or giving back – cash.
None of the register line lights were on with lines of shoppers backed up waiting to check out, although one person said a single register was accepting cash.
One of the associates said the problem was that the store had not received deliveries of cash in the past two weeks. The store apparently had run through whatever cash was on hand.
The last time I was in my local WalMart here in Ellsworth, Maine, the self-check out machines were debit card and credit card only....they didn’t accept cash.
But the registers that were staffed by a man or woman accepted cash.
Last year, there was a similar problem with the self-checkout registers....they were not accepting cash.
A cashier at a “manned” register back then told me the mints in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco had shut down for a while because of the pandemic.
Eventually the self-check out machines went back to accepting paper money and coins, and dispersing paper money and coins as change, as well as cash back.
Now they’re back to only debit cards and credit cards at the self-check out.
I avoid large corporate retail as much as possible.
Don’t patronize any crony-capitalists who willingly or unwillingly get into bed with Fed.gov.
WM in my area is notorious for accepting and giving out counterfeit money for change. I don’t think I’d want their money anyway.
I’m encountering cashiers who can’t count money
I gave a kid at a drive through 4 one dollar bills, 3 quarters, a dime, a nickel and 3 pennies. He spread it out on the counter and stared at it. I just let him do that for at least five minutes. I finally told him that was the correct amount. He said, “Good” and gave me a receipt.
A friend last night paid for $20 worth of merchandise with a $100 bill. The cashier gave him $120 in change.
The last time I went to Walmart I saw more Mexicans than the last time I was in Mexico.
I think they've since gotten cash shipments, so they do have regular checkout lines open that accept cash again. The real issue is that they only normally keep just one or two checkout lines open at a time, plus the self-checkouts. The self-checkouts almost never have cash in them, and are card-only as a result. No real conspiracy, except they've just scaled way back on having actual checkout lines open. This dates back to pre-COVID (at least the past three years), and it's also not limited to this one store. My guess is this is a cost-cutting measure that got implemented when the whole $15/hr. minimum wage stuff started getting kicked around.
Used cash just yesterday at Wmart self-checkout..... after some weeks of no cash, just card at self-checkout. The “issue” was lack of coins, per employees. The Walmart self-checkouts take only bills. At Kroger, you can put in coins .... if they are out of coins, they will add change to your Kroger card (not sure how that works - I take plenty of change & use exact amount).
Last week, in Aldi’s, the cashier apologized for no quarters - said they had requested them from the bank, but didn’t get any. I pulled out my change bag (so heavy, it makes my pocketbook a lethal weapon) & exchanged a bunch of quarters for bills .... cashier was very happy.
Unless there’s tornado outage or some @sshole bombs downtown Nashville causing card outages across huge areas.
