A number of East of England Co-op stores are currently unable to take cash.
This is due to an incident being managed by UK Power Networks close to their Ipswich head office.
Affected shops without self-checkout tills have been forced to close while the issue is resolved.
Other key services, such as Paypoint and Lotto are also unavailable.
A spokesperson for the East of England Co-op said: “Unfortunately, our food stores have been impacted by an incident being managed by UK Power Networks near our head office in Ipswich.
"This incident has resulted in some of our food stores not being able to access essential till systems.
“Stores with self-checkout tills remain open and can accept payment by card. However, additional services, such as PayPoint and Lotto are unavailable at this time.
