I visited 2 Walgreens today. Both of them have 50+ Vanillas, but register says "cash only for this item". I asked cashier to call manager to override. While I waited manager, cashier told me that they had a "special training" how to deal with this (reload packs) and it is for sure that credit cards not allowed (only debit or cash). Manager came, and confirmed that now Walgreens have a policy for such cards not accept CC as payment. I said that sometimes manager can override this, and she replied that since recently if manager does it (override), penalty will be severe (i.e. she will be fired). I don't know if she made it up or not. The only place here where I can buy icecream is OD.
