Wow, I can believe people are talking about leaving a survey (positive or negative). I just do not go into that area.
Yes, in OC, i don't even bother trying to get a MO, and I did get at least 10 in the last 10 months. But in my middle of nowhere Wallys, where CSR's seniority ranges from 5 to 15 years, I can even give them the Gebit for them to swipe if the swiping machine on my side is giving me trouble. They don't even look at the card. Good thing Simon VGC can be bought in OC and kept until Middle of nowhere mid west Wally converts them to MOs.
Situation is simple, all people playing this games are usually located in the big 4 metropolitan areas, and all Wally's in North and South Cali, Chicago, DC and NYC surroundings are dead or impossible, or will be in the near future.
Yesterday I pit stop at some Wally s in Louisiana/Alabama while driving towards Florida, and CSR s could not care less about MO at the Money Center via Gebits. So hobby is still well and alive.
