Stores still accept cash? What is this, the 17th century?!

I live here in Toronto.
When I go to a store, I pay with cash.
I pay with Canadian money, because I’m a Canadian who buys from stores in Canada.
That was easy to do in Ontario Wal-Mart stores.
But then the put up self-check-outs that only accepted credit and debit cards—maybe because they’re in cahoots with the banks and the NSA/wp:CSEC.
Then I had to use a cashier.
So I went to Wal-Mart fewer times as I didn’t like to wait (as well as the increased prices during and after Covid-19).
Now they have a person at the self-checkout who will scan my stuff and accept my cash.
It seems that Wal-Mart adapted—somewhat—to people like me, people who pay with cash.
Still, I do more purchases at Food Basics and Dollarama because their self-check-outs accept cash, including pockets full of loose change I purposely carry when I go there.

here in Germany the self-checkouts mostly have a cash machine so you can pay cash without a person there

I’ve never seen a self-checkout that accepts cash in Germany.

We have some, and they are crap.

Our Rewe recently switched to card-only

Does that include your Wal-Mart stores? because that would be great.

We don’t have Wal-Mart stores. They famously couldn’t cope with our labor laws and couldn’t compete with local retailers.

All zero Walmarts in this country. Their attempt of invading our market was,crushed between being to expensive, having shitty products, and working labor protection laws.
