Went to the Dollae Tree for a bunch of crap I really didn’t need. Was buying Christmas goodies for neighbors kids. At register was the same worn sign they hand printed in July “DUE TO COIN SHORTAGE PLEASE USE EXACT CHANGE BUT WE PREFER CARDS NOT CHECKS”. My total was $18.90. I gave the worker, snowflake, not sure what gender due to blue/pink hair and nose rings and Sparkly mask $18.90. He/she/it said “ We can’t take cash unless it is correct amount!” This is our future!!!!!

This is nothing new. I think the real reason for these signs is because their cashiers have no idea how to make change because they apparently haven't taught the most basic math for 40 years or more.
You can really stump some cashiers by handing them a dollar, a quarter and a nickel for a $1.27 bill. Or worse, a dollar, a quarter, dime and a penny for a $1.36 bill.
This is true too. If my total is 5.xx and I have a 10 I'll give them 11 so I get a 5 and change back. 95/100 times the cashier has a deer in headlights look completely overwhelmed with getting $11 and being incapable of pressing 1-1 on the register to find that I was trying to make their job easier and my wallet thinner.
“Uh, anon, here’s your $1 back, you gave me too much.”
“No, punch it in, you’ll see.”
