It also said some other customers were choosing instead to use their credit cards or digital payments while abroad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It added that the changes to its gift wrapping services would make it more accessible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The money exchange closure will affect 30 shops while the gift wrapping services closure will affect 25 shops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The retailer has been going through many changes under its chair. Jason Tarry, who took over in 2024 after a tough few years that saw it cut jobs and close several stores<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It closed its housebuilding arm in February, in a move which also led to some job losses. And, in March, the retailer said it would be awarding its staff a bonus for the first time in four years as its profits and sales improved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The bonus had been scrapped during the Covid pandemic, marking the first time this had happened since 1953.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">John Lewis&#8217; latest results show the business reported a pre-tax loss of \u00a321m due to \u00a3120m worth of one-off costs which mainly related to write-downs in the value of old tech systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But underlying profits rose 6% to \u00a3134m. Sales across the business rose by 5% to \u00a313.4bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sales growth was higher at Waitrose compared with John Lewis. Supermarket sales grew by 7% to \u00a38.5bn in the year to the end of January compared to a 3% increase to \u00a34.9bn at department stores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
