at wally world, DO NOT swipe your card to save time as the kiosk suggests. Wait until transaction is complete because if there's a problem or you change your mind, you won't be able to get refunded.
(It took me 3 mos. cause "the cash register" wouldn't accept the exchange.

I refuse to use them because eventually it is going to put more and more people out of work.. Just don't use them and maybe they will go away!
