Store policies divide sharply based on municipal laws, franchise choices, and hardware setups. The breakdown below illustrates how payment systems operate across various storefront footprints.
| Payment Option | Availability Profile | Operational Details & Constraints |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Cash | Inconsistent (Est. 20%, 35% of stores) | Accepted primarily in jurisdictions with legal mandates; requires an employee to override the kiosk system at the pickup counter. |
