The issuer is MetaBank as that is all that I buy. The ones I took were off the rack and as soon as the first "bad" one was found, we opened up the back of others to make sure the ones I bought were not compromised. I was doing this while I had a group of people behind me in line so I was not interested being difficult as long as we found "good" cards I could buy. I am quite sure they went through their inventory to locate problem card packages. I plant to return there tomorrow because I live just around the corner.
