Here is a tip. Don't get mad and slam your fist down on the counter when a CSR/manager won't sell you a VGC with an AGC.

That's a long way from my corner of the state so those local rules will apply.

It's pretty friendly here as there is not a lot of us here. Most of the CVS stores are MS friendly. The Targets are friendly also except there is one older lady at the Woodruff Rd location that will not let you load a Redcard with gift cards. She usually works in the morning and I have no problems with the afternoon shift. Most of the grocery stores are not MS friendly except Bi-lo and even that is YMMV. Most of the Walmarts also have a working Kate. The only one I have seen not working on a consistent basis is the one on White Horse Rd. Welcome to Greenville!

Yes, I forgot about those. I have never got an Ingles to work though. I had one in Spartanburg that use to sell with CC, but they went cash only.

One request -- If you use FL for MO's, please limit yourself to, say, 2 per visit. The clerks at FL aren't nearly as jaded as the ones at WM, but someone regularly buying a boatload of MOs at one time is going to attract unwanted attention. Personally, I find it convenient to hit FL once in the morning and then again in the afternoon, after a shift change.
