Another thing I’ve noticed is that for the longest time, 3 out of 6 self checkouts at my local Kroger was card only. Starting a week ago, 5 out of 6 is card only. It’s obvious physical currency is being wildly discouraged.
I've seen that a lot too. And there have been multiple times the ATM machine at the bank branch itself had no cash at all. The ATM machine worked and you could make a deposit and do other functions, but the "get cash" function was disabled altogether.
