> I just realized last night that the self check outs at Walmart don't accept cash

The machines fall back to credit/debit only when they need to restocked with cash or coins, or if the machine needs to be serviced. Some stores don't want to pay for the labor needed to maintain their cash features.

The last time I was in a Walmart was over a year ago, but their machines took cash.




I looked and these ones do not. I wonder if the helpers could print out a receipt and walk you over to customer service and check out there but these machines do not have the ability to take cash or dispense it like some I have seen at other places. I will bother to ask the helpers next time I am up there.
