Some walmarts in north alabama are not accepting credit card payments currently after the explosion in nashville impacted an at&t building.

That's because some use at&t for their internet -- and with the interet down, walmart cannot accept credit cards.

James bendall/ walmart shopper "when i came in i saw the lady holding the sign up 'cash only.'

You know it struck me that i felt kind of lucky that i was carrying cash on me today because usually i'm not."

James bendall said shopping at the walmart in hazel green was easy on saturday.

But the drive to the walmart was not as easy.

Because bendall uses at&t for his cellphphone.

Bendall "coming down here on the interstate there was an accident so normally i can pull up on my phone and see you know all the information that i can or call somebody or whatnot.

Find out what's going on.

Today it was like "whelp we're just gonna sit here in traffic."

Many walmart customers were not aware that some stores are cash only until they already arrived.

Cheryl freeman/ walmart shopper "i didn't know it would affect walmart until i got here and they saw this cash sign and i was like is that cash only for shopping in walmart and the young ladies were so nice and they said 'yes.'" cheryl freeman says there are some positives to cash only though.

Freeman "it's not as crowded.

Probably of lot of people used cards more than they use cash."

Bendall said he has some concerns about having to pay cash for certain items "when i saw that sign today i was wondering if i'm gonna have to pay cash for gas.

So, a lot of people travel without cash and they get out and get stuck."
