The only thing the clerk asked me is if there were only 2 cards because there is a $1000 limit per day. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but the fact that a store that used to be a "No Go" is now back in my rotation is a great thing!
in most instances, it's cashier based. As in, if a specific cashier *feels* that the policy is not to accept CC, then they won't, irrespective of what the actual policy is. Yes, you can get a manager involved, etc, but honestly, it's not worth the effort. Just go back after some time to a different cashier and try you luck again.
