Never been on a midnight run to load Serve but wanted to go to try one last load on wishful thinking the POS changes would happen middle of the night.

Went but the cashier said I had to come back in the morning (most likely b/c he didn't know how to do it).

Just got back from loading 2 x $1K Serves and also picked up $10k in SD. ^

Damn, hit up 3 of my local cvs with success. ask my 1 special cashier about policy changes and she said nothing new.

While Menlo Park went cash-only effective today, was still able to buy at two Palo Alto locations (Town & Country, University Ave). None left on University Ave, but plenty of PP cards (which is what I bought). Cashier told me, unprompted, that they're going cash-only on 4/3.

Town & Country cashier didn't say anything, I didn't ask anything.

That manager at Menlo Park with the walking problem is a really nice guy.

Either way... RIP Vanilla Reload. And good luck at meeting your street revenue estimates for Q2, CVS, muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

Hopefully the same way I'm draining 60k - multiple cards from multiple providers.

Not all VRs - got some paypals too (which are also going cash only), and a few MVD (going cash only too). Not hard with 3 bluebirds, combining MVD's, and cashing out paypal... been running $30/40k-ish a month overall for a year as it is anyway...

wishful thinking but hopefully come 4/5, beans will still sell for plastic.
