It all started in the Krogers in Uptown and surroundings last year because some guys were purchasing 3 or more MO at the same time using VGC's. I was still using my Alaska BOFA Debit Card and I got asked for the card and ID many times. One day I saw a guy trying to buy several money orders and saw him pay with GC's and when asked by the lady at the customer service desk to show her the cards he panicked.

Krogers in the suburbs were easier with MO not asking for ID and Debit Card, but now they all want to see ID. I am friends with some cashiers who keep telling me that there are several guys coming to buy $5,000 worth of VGC's when the limit is $2,000. I only buy 1 VGC every time I visit Kroger and stay low profile since they know who the big buyers are.
