Though I am not sure whether it is due to the cashier wants to input the amount of payment instead of letting the card to auto-drain.

We switched to credit mode and she still entered the split tender with amount. System accepted each card and I read her the last 4 and the signature screen popped up. $200, $200, $104.95, done.

In any case I am grateful she even agreed to do it without insisting the card has my name on it (told her it does not but it is debit card with PIN - she said company policy required her to ask - though may not need to be enforced that is how I interpret it as she let me use the cards.)
I have the same experience as you with debit transaction if not the last one. Though I tried it a few months ago and with a different vgc. It would autodrain though when using credit even when not the last tranasaction. I figured debit wouldn't work (if not the last) because of the cash withdrawal option.

Since then, I never tried.
