Some stores including Lululemon and Nordstrom won't take cash as they reopen, putting them further out of reach for millions of Americans
Lululemon and Nordstrom have both said they wouldn't be accepting cash as they reopen stores.
Public health officials have said they believe cash could contribute to the spread of the novel coronavirus. But, some cities and states across the US have banned cashless stores, as millions of Americans do not have a checking or savings account. Reopening stores are making plenty of changes aimed at keeping employees and shoppers safe in the coronavirus era. Lululemon's frequently asked questions page"We won't be accepting cash payments for 30 days after reopen, and we'll reassess after that time. We prefer contactless tap payments like credit and debit cards or ApplePay.
Lululemon and Nordstrom did not return Business Insider's request for comment on their decision to go cashless.
