Yes really. The Quakertown super Walmart does not accept cash for the last month claiming there is a coin shortage, yet every business in town is ok including several super markets, BJ's and Target etc. They have been claiming a coin shortage off and on over the last year, typically the self checkouts didn't accept cash and you had to find and an open manned register which of course there would be only one or two if you are lucky. One time over the winter they were asking cash paying customers to round their purchases to the nearest dollar lol. But the more rural super Walmart 8 miles away has never had a coin shortage.
Now if one was a conspiracy theorist they would say it's being used as a control to see how people accept going all digital to eliminate cash so can't possibly go there...
