Has anyone ever been banned from buying VGC at Kroger/Kroger-affiliate?

I was told by a specific location that they would no longer sell the $500 variables to me PERSONALLY because I was deemed as "suspicious" for buying high amounts of USB VGC (Usually $1K-$1.5K per trip, I have only frequented this occasion about 2 times prior).

Luckily, this seems to be isolated to only this store for now since I was able to purchase the usual amount at another store about 15 minutes beforehand.
