Cincinnati-area Krogers have all been very friendly to me. I usually buy 2 999.29 MOs and split tender between 4 Gebits.
One of the ladies asked me if this was for the gentleman up in the palisades (an area on the west side) and I said no She said he buys 3k in money orders every day from like 4 different Kroger.
Props to you buddy.
Also, is everyone really scared of the Mastercard variable loads that sit right next to the Visa ones? Visa are sometimes out in every store, so I just grab whatever. never had a problem.
