Local Kmart...cash only.
Just ran down to the Kmart near my house to pick up a few things and there was a hand written sign on the door that said.."Cash only. Global problem with register." LOL

Just wondering if anybody sees this sign today if they visit Kmart for any reason or if this store is exaggerating just a tad.

Thanks.

I have not used paper currency for over a quarter of a century. I like cards because they give you a statement showing where all the money went.

We use the word Credit Card and Bank Card interchangeably.

Most likely their "Credit Card" debits right out of their Checking account.

I would also like to add that our cards do both Credit and Debit.

I would also like to add that prices in Europe are far higher than in the US.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1048292



Yes the back of my card says Maestro. Maestro is ran by Mastercard. So when I run it as debit it uses the Maestro Service but when I run it as Credit it uses MasterCard.

I also have a Debit Card that uses PLUS for debit Purchases.

Most of the time I just use Cash though. Then I toss the coins at the end of the day into a 5 gallon water jug.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1100467

Northeast Ohio, Trumbull county along Pa. border. It may be just that store. However, the hand written sign absolutley said "global register problems". Since we are living in a period where it seems just about everything is exaggerated in one way or another, I was wondering if anybody has seen this same sign.
