Phrases clerks have called you when trying to buy MO with GC

I think we've all been accused of doing something nefarious, especially when turning GC's into paper, but things are starting to get ridiculous these days.

I have a local establishment (not Wally) that has accused me of:

Money laundering ($499.10 at a time... woohoo!, and I was using my loyalty card for MO discount so there goes anonymity)
Structuring (apparently can't use wikipedia or google)
Possibly stealing gift cards from other stores (guess they don't need to be activated in some places)
Possibly hiding drug money (again after giving my loyalty card)
and the best one "comitting Money Order Fraud"

Anyone else have good ones? I do ~$3000 a month which is a pittance. I might start eating higher payment fees when trying to reach min spend on cards just to avoid the ridiculousness of money center folks. If you don't want to sell me a MO tell me, don't make up phrases to justify it.
