That is the most disturbing thing about it. I get it if FD wants to limit $500/day per Serve card but when they start imposing in general no 2 $500 loads in a row even though they are different Serve cards it is just ridiculous.
Not sure. Need more data points on it. I'll experiment more tomorrow.
but think about it this way: this is a dollar store we're talking about. they are NOT used to huge transactions. hell, $1k might be total sales for many stores. for those stores out in the boonies, that might represent a cpl days or even a weeks worth of sales.
you can expect FD to come charging out of the gates. they are not WM or Target and are not used to seeing such numbers. all we can do is train em and eventually, hopefully FD will raise its limits once they/their banks/insurance/compliance/legal depts all get comfortable with folks loading day in and day out.
