Wal-Mart out of cash?

Shoppers going to the New Albany Wal-Mart Sunday evening with cash in hand were in for a surprise.

Neither the self check out nor manned registers were accepting – or giving back – cash.

None of the register line lights were on with lines of shoppers backed up waiting to check out, although one person said a single register was accepting cash.

One of the associates said the problem was that the store had not received deliveries of cash in the past two weeks. The store apparently had run through whatever cash was on hand.

This has not been verified by store management but it was clear the only purchase option was with a credit card and, possibly, check.
