No problem buying fixed Visa/MC at most Safeway here in the Seattle area (variables are still problematic). It was just one store that went cash only for everything after they got "the memo". Before they got the memo you could buy anything with CC (including reloadits, paypower, univision). I was pretty sure they misinterpreted the memo, but now you've piqued my interest to see the actual memo if it clarifies variable Visa/MC can be bought with CC. I haven't been back to that store.
