She pulled the documentation and read the policy to me. I asked if any form or debit was accepted and she said no. She couldn't confirm whether the change was local, regional, or nationwide. I wasn't comfortable asking her to allow me to take a pic of the new policy. I have seen previous rumors on the board about changes that are coming from a pilot program that began in the midwest. Could this be the result? I'm not sure. Anyone else got confirmation from their local Kroger?
my friend also told me he got this message from the clerk. in fact, the clerk even mentioned that AMEX was requiring the stores to shut it down...
