Do You have Lowes over there? A customer in front of Me returned a defective tool and They did not have a suitable replacement. He paid cash and needed cash back to go somewhere else to buy another tool. Lowes did not have no where enough money ($300 USD) to refund and had to go around to a bunch of employees and beg cash from Them to complete the refund.
More likely to be a fail of the connection between them and the banking system so they couldn't process card payments.Last week when I visited there was an oppo at the door informing everyone entering cash only, maybe 80% of punters walking away
Happened to us in Aldi a few months ago - quick trip up the road to the bank required to pay for shopping.

You live where you live out of choice. But youll find you can payin cash to your bank at the post office, being very rural we had to learn these things a bit earlier.Hartlepool branch closed so was using Stockton. As you say stopped dealing with cash, Darlington was only option.
Similar distance to Newcastle ffs.
Was in Tesco earlier and they have reverted back to mostly cash/card checkouts. Last week when I visited there was an oppo at the door informing everyone entering cash only, maybe 80% of punters walking away
I let out a belly laugh to voice my approval.

What does being impolite and intolerant achieve other than causing harm to someone who has no control over the problems and has not caused the problems?
The staff on the shop floor didn't have any part in the decision to install self checkouts, the didn't design them, install them or write the software that runs them.
Poor customer behaviour towards staff is a reason to automate as much of the system as possible and remove staff from that harmful environment.

None the less they are part of the problem, if it doesn't work they are the face of the company.

No, you're just ignorant. I used to drive a mobile bank branch van. Some times we start visiting places that had had the bricks and mortar branch closed. People who I'm sure would see themselves as decent and pleasant people would shout abuse at us. More frequently at the teller, usually female, less so at me, large male. To the point that some of the other staff refused to go on the van. It doesn't bother me, if you are the sort of person who is rude and abusive to staff then your opinion is worthless to me. I never dealt with customers, I only drove the van. There were plenty who I'd happily have closed their account and told to go elsewhere.
I'll say it again: You are rude and ignorant.
there was a small co-op next to where I used to live
1 normal till and 2 self service tills.... if there was a problem (id check for a alcohol etc.) the person behind the normal till could control everything from there
I always do self service... but hate standing there if the person working them that day is slow/lazy/unless and not paying attention
someone decent on and you can fly through
