Before you make such analogy (which is not even a good analogy in many fronts but that is too OT), you should at least get the facts straight instead of just headliners.

If you are not comfortable in cash transactions the way you feel the stores are handling, by all means, contact the district manager and regional manager and may be the executive office to voice your concern - that you are afraid drug money may be used to buy the reloadables...if the stores want cash only. Tell the higher-ups that the stores are in essence facilitate such illicit act if they only take cash.

Hey, Walgreen should be your No.1 chain to initiate such action - as virtually 90% of the Walgreen stores are reportedly cash only.

Get on the Crusader act to be a worthy citizen, to prevent drug money laundering illicit act in the country, not just for your little VR pursuit. You are after a much bigger issue that affects Public's well being... such a noble clause...
Are you CVS employee? or a corporate lawyer? in crusade to defend CVS? I wonder who in the right mind would buy VR card 'Cash' (unless its for money laundering purposes). If CVS insists 'cash Only' as 'corporate policy' they know they are 'Facilitating' money laundering just like HSBC bank and may be fined...(not obvious?)

People - Are there any legitimate reasons/benefits to buy VR all Cash? anyone buying from Walgreens? I am curious..
