WalMart can do as they wish. They do not need my input. They do not have to tell me what they have decided.
The fact that they did not until I had already drove 36 miles each way and spent an hour in the store made me mad.
So I came here and started a conversation asking in anyone else had similar experiences and it seem to have set you off.
Sorry if I upset you.
apparently, those grocery carts are teeming with fecal bacteria from people sitting their junior selves in the little basket thingy up front
we should all stay home and collect anti-bacterial bottles of goop as if Covid were a thing
oh wait.....

I thought most people understood this so I'll give a more detailed response since obviously you didn't get it.
"For businesses, paper money has to be managed: it must be stored, guarded, and accounted for. It can be difficult to transport and is inherently insecure. U.S. retail businesses lose about $40 billion annually because of the theft of cash alone. This cost is also disproportionately borne by mom-and-pops, many of which operate in poor neighborhoods and rural areas. These cash-dependent small businesses cannot afford sophisticated security and cash transportation services."

Also for businesses like Walmart that issues a Walmart Mastercard and also has a deal for cash back with a Capital One card they can make extra money if you use a card.
Sorry, for the brief response earlier, Some people may not be aware of what I just assumed everyone knew.

The average Walmart brings in $153K per day. I think you, or at least everyone else reading this forum, can see why you wouldn't just ask an employee to make a bank run each day.

See Post 33, I wasn't talking about you needing "a howitzer" I was talking about the expense to Walmart with handling cash.
You have to pay the salaries for those trucks. and although 153k is average most people can imagine (different from hallucinating) that there are days of the year where that could be two or even three times that. You might want to have the armed guards coming repeatedly during the day so as not to encourage a robbery.
So please, you are extremely quarrelsome over something that is probably obvious to most adults.

OK one more time real slow and easy. You should cut back on the hallucinogens because you are starting to sound incoherent.
If you give Walmart cash they could end up with 153k at the end of the day that they need to take the bank. It costs them money in security to transport that money to the bank and it makes them a target for bank robbers. So they want to discourage using cash without actually telling anyone they are doing that. They could have every single register get cash but they choose not to. So by discouraging cash they save money. Insurance companies may even be involved here.
In addition they have credit cards that they want to encourage people to use because they make even more money every time you use their cards.
It is kind of like 2+2, you save 2$ by not having cash and you make 2$ more by using cards.
Anyway I hope this helps you realize that no one is telling you to bring a howitzer to Walmart.

It’s not unusual for the department to send a van to transport all the criminals Ross arrests at this Walmart. The call log on the store stretches 126 pages, documenting more than 5,000 trips over the past five years. Last year police were called to the store and three other Tulsa Walmarts just under 2,000 times. By comparison, they were called to the city’s four Target stores about 300 times. Most of the calls to the northeast Supercenter were for shoplifting, but there’s no shortage of more serious crimes, including five armed robberies so far this year, a murder suspect who killed himself with a gunshot to the head in the parking lot last year, and, in 2014, a group of men who got into a parking lot shootout that killed one and seriously injured two others.
Police reports from dozens of stores suggest the number of petty crimes committed on Walmart properties nationwide this year will be in the hundreds of thousands. But people dashing out the door with merchandise is the least troubling part of Walmart’s crime problem. More than 200 violent crimes, including attempted kidnappings and multiple stabbings, shootings, and murders, have occurred at the nation’s 4,500 Walmarts this year, or about one a day, according to an analysis of media reports. Sometimes they’re spectacular enough to get national attention. In June, a SWAT team killed a hostage taker at a Walmart in Amarillo, Texas. In July, three Walmart employees in Florida were charged with manslaughter after a shoplifter they chased and pinned down died of asphyxia. Other crimes are just bizarre. On Aug. 8, police discovered a meth lab inside a 6-foot-high drainage pipe under a Walmart parking lot in Amherst, N.Y.

This article shows that the problem of crime at Walmart is very significant and much worse than other comparable stores like Target.

Nice!
I totally forgot about Lawn & Garden, excellent. Didn't realize you could at the Pharmacy though. Customer service seems daunting with all those huge shopping carts
I have done that at Publix if there's no one there.
For some reason this is bringing to mind those price checker things that were set up at random places around the store. Occasionally I think of them and wonder why they were ever needed in the first place. Or when Super Walmart was a rarity and was different from "Walmart". Finding a Super Walmart when traveling was a pain.
