Some western Kentucky businesses are reporting Saturday their stores are unable to accept credit cards and debit cards for sales and can only accept cash, in connection to the AT&T service outages following the explosion in Nashville.
Fulton County Emergency Management in a Facebook post said the agency was receiving reports that Walmart in Fulton and the Little General convenience store in Hickman were accepting cash payments. An employee at Hibbett Sports in Murray also said their store could only accept cash on Saturday.
A spokesperson for Walmart confirmed the internet outages at some of their western Kentucky stores were related to the AT&T service outages connected to the Nashville explosion. The internet outages are impacting stores’ ability to process credit cards and returns.
