I live in an area that seems to lack many churners (VRs everywhere they should be and most cashiers seem to have zero experience with them). The Office Depots in my city don't have the VRs and variables back, one I checked in a suburb had them but wasn't allowed by the register to do the transaction with anything but cash, and a town an hour away (was visiting someone) even had an official sign that said "Prepaid Cards (cash only)" above the prepaid debits/reload cards and didn't carry variable GCs.
