Possibly good news for us in the FF community and not sure if it's been posted yet so sorry in advance if it has - I stopped into my local bean store last night and was informed that the company policy changed a couple of days ago to a $1k per day / per transaction limit to a $5k per transaction limit.
Registers still weren't able to process more than 1k at a time but for anyone having trouble getting more than $1k per day this might be helpful!
