I don't really mind splitting the bill to 2 or 3 cc's. It spreads the points through my 14 cards. And it keeps the grocery bill to a more reasonable $200ish range instead of $500 or $600. Who spends $500 at a time at Kroger? Even the $200 is out of the range for normal grocery spend at one time now that it's just the 2 of us.
The issue is they have to stop and perform up to 5 separate actions, just for you to check out. (Entering amount of each of 4 GCs + entering DL for final purchase.) It sounds like you make it up to 8+ actions for you to check-out, using multiple CCs and a DL for each. If your employee is happy to do so, more power to you, but not all are amiable to such "schemes."
Just go to Guest Services, plop down 4 GCs, tell them "$500 on 3 of them, then $4XX on the last." Swipe, show DL. High-tail it to the Kroger 1 block over and repeat.
