Have any other users experienced the same issue with Western Union money orders at Kroger stores?
Is this a store that is transitioning to an Aldi or an existing Winn Dixie that has new terminals now that Aldi has taken over the brand?
Can you show us what the new terminals look like?
This is some very bad news for Florida - with the demise of Winn Dixie, most Publix locations do ask to see ID match on cards and that just leaves Walmart which is problematic at this time.
