iPhone 12 Pro US Apple Store's East Coast: Walk ins to buy iPhone 12 Pro?

[kingdied]

Is it possible to just go to the store to purchase a phone there? I do I always need to place an order via apple.com? Asking as I want to use cash instead of creditcard

I am not on the east coast, but all 5 of the Apple Stores here in the metro Seattle area are showing that both the 12 and 12 pro models are out of stock, with the fastest way to obtain them being to order online, with 12 pro not arriving until mid to late November, regular 12 arriving late next week.

I suspect this is similar everywhere?
