You are forgetting house bills like Water, Electricity, etc. And they do NOT come in round numbers ...

Also, today one of my 3 go to Wallys finally switch to the new system. I actually was not expecting it, but also, I only had one last $500 VGC, so was only buying a $499.32 MO. Yes, it took way longer for the machine to start printing the MO, but when the CSR came back, as stated here, she did not input the last 4 digits and was waiting for the second piece of paper to print so that I could sign it. I sign it, she kept it and gave me two receipts plus the MO. Well, time to pay a CC and see what the banks think about the "Gift Certificate" leyend printed on top.
