Walmart Store in Texas Refuses To Accept Cash From This One Place - And The Internet Agrees

One of Walmart's stores in Texas has refused to accept cash from one particularly lucrative place– and the internet loudly supports its decision.

Allegedly displayed in a Texas Walmart, a sign informed customers that they would no longer be accepting cash that had been pulled out of someone's bra.

A photo of the sign was posted in the r/walmart subreddit, and has garnered a large amount of foot traffic, with users jumping to the comment section to profess their agreement.

Reddit Post Goes Viral

Captioned 'Walmart in texas lol' with a photo of the sign pictured below, the post has received over 8000 upvotes and around 150 comments.

The sign outlined that the store would 'no longer be accepting money carried in your bra' due to 'the increase in temperatures.'

Reddit users banned together to flood the comments section with support for Walmart's decision.

Comments included, 'I work in a grocery store and want to hang up this sign so badly,' 'Should be bra, socks, underwear and anywhere else that's not a purse or wallet,' and 'Yeah, I get that boobs are a good way to store stuff, but no one wants to touch anything that comes from them.'

Other users commented on similar signs they'd seen in other stores.

'I saw a sign in Georgia that said "No Sock or Tiddy Money"!' One user posted. Another replied, 'Same for Missouri. My local Dollar store has it on the counter.'

US Businesses Can Refuse To Accept Cash By Law

There is no law outright banning businesses from refusing to accept cash in the United States.

According to the Federal Reserve, 'Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.'

There are no laws in the state of Texas or any Texas city which force businesses to accept cash.

Hold on– Is This Real?

Some of the comments on the r/walmart post were quick to point out that the sign may not be recent– or even real.

'That pic's older than me,' one user said, receiving 50 upvotes on their comment. Another replied, 'And it was still fake back then lol.'

'Looks like an old dollar general post,' someone commented.

The validity of the post has yet to be confirmed. Walmart has yet to comment on whether the sign belongs to one of their stores.

Cashiers Being Given 'Gross' Money An Ongoing Issue

Regardless of validity, the post has brought attention to the internet's long term disgust with shoppers paying with 'gross' money.

A reddit post from five years ago in the subreddit r/AmITheAsshole also complained of receiving 'bra money.'

They titled their post, 'WIBTA [would I be the asshole] if I refused to take money that was held in someone's bra?'

The user explained that they would receive cash or credit cards from a customers bra at least once a week at the restaurant they worked at.

'WIBTA in the eyes of my managers if I refused to touch that? I just fear that they will have no other form of payment and then I won't know what to do,' they asked the subreddit.

The answer provided by 178 comments was a resounding 'no.'

'NAH - The real assholes are the people who don't make women's clothing to have reasonable pockets,' read the top comment, with 286 upvotes.

'NTA [not the asshole]: simply put, it's an area that gets sweaty. Not hygienic, and where I'm from, a lot of shops refuse to accept bra/sock money during the summer when people don't have the pockets in clothes they normally wear,' another user shared.

'NTA as a teen I worked at walmart. I would refuse to accept any money from a bra or sock. Call the manager I dont care. In fact they would refuse too,' someone commented.

While the origin of the sign in the photo posted to r/walmart remains up for speculation, it's clear that the internet is in agreement that cashiers should not have to accept money taken out of bras.

With summer swiftly approaching, cashiers may want to put on some rubber gloves or opt for their own store-front sign urging customers not to pay with cash stored in their undergarments.
