Though it may be profitable, it seems its not worth the hassle for OD managers. One manager specifically told me, "it messes up the numbers", whatever that means. Thats the only one thats ever said anything, but every manager that has had to do the override never seems happy when I walk out with $2,000 worth of Visa GC's. Guessing they have a reason.
