MC was closed this morning, but the SC was empty. There were two cashiers in the SC, but neither was at a register, so I waited as if I were in line. After a bit, one of them went to a register and started typing. I saw from the display that she had put in a $1000 MO purchase for me so I went up to the register, but she keyed in a second $1000 MO before I could say anything. I sighed, but tried it anyway.

I got to 7 swipes with only 2 successful swipes, so I told her the transaction would have to be canceled. She got on a PA and asked for a manager and one called back immediately. She told the mgr that I could only pay for one MO and the manager reduced the purchase to 1 MO remotely -- I didn't know they could do that. I paid the $0.70 and asked if I could try some BB loads with the 2 cards that had failed. It took 4 swipes for 2 $500 loads, which wasn't too bad.
