- Most of them are now asking for a photo ID and that wasn't the case before
- Two of them I've visited, they now required a chip for anything above $500

Anyone else see these trends?
Doesnt Publix issue WU, which has a $500 max per MO , so asking for $1k = 2 @ $500 and 2x the fee. So Id just hit a bunch of stores for 1 @ < 500, it will take longer but get the job done or better do as I do ask for 1 MO say @ 499 and a 2nd for 499.10 (just dont ask for the 2ns till they give you the 1st, never was asked for any ID but YMMV)
