Seriously, dealing with cash is a hassle, especially on a self-checkout. Arco has tried the same nonsense and I avoid them at every turn, because it requires me to a) have cash and b) stand in line to pay , rather than it taking a moment to swipe a card.

Why do you need to stand in line to pay with cash? Maybe the self-checkout machine in particular only accepts cards, but it could look like this: https://www.ecrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fujitsu-gene... - I see these all the time.

Arco is a gas station - the pumps don't accept cash so the only way to pay cash is to wait inside to speak with the cashier.
