Cashier actually went and removed all OneVanilla's while I was watching. Went back the next week and bought a basic Vanilla ($5.95 fee) with no issues. Went back today to buy more, and now those wouldn't ring up either. Cashier this time said they had been having problems with those cards, and the manager came and told her to remove all of them. This CVS had a whole rack dedicated only to VGCs, and it's now empty.
Anyone know what's going on? DP) Bought a $5.95 Vanilla at WG this AM - no issues. |
CVS POS changes
Now over in the land of MO and I hear from the local CVS that they were told to pull all $4.95 $20-500 VISA GCs and just had a POS system update. So we tried to ring up some newer white/blue box $5.95 $20-500 GC's and the system asked if it was a taxable or nontaxable purchase and did not go to the normal red/green "Were you scammed?" screen. Interesting! So I tapped into my inner IT Auditor and pulled some of the older, red candle $5.95 $20-500 GCs and lo and behold they rang up fine. Memo to CVS - ever hear of adequately testing your POS system changes? Also a memo to Garmin - why the hell did your GPS hide this CVS store and tell me the closest CVS was a few miles away? This CVS is several years old and I installed your latest map update.:rolleyes:

How recent was this POS system update? As of about 8 pm last night, I was still able to ring up the few 4.95's I found. Going to be a non-issue soon since I can barely find any more anyway.

Update was within the week so 10/23-10/25.:cool: Looks like another rolling blackout ala USPS and Metabank. Time to try selling $4.95 GCs as collectibles on eBay?

What's a phone? Afraid I just have a $15 flip phone on a $19 a month no contract plan. Great for single handed use and that retro cool look.:D
Have had loads of interesting times with my Garmin on trips the last few weeks. Yesterday it tried to send me down a gravel road that turned into an unpaved Jeep trail when headed to a resort. This particular Garmin hides drug stores, favors Jeep trails and took me through every farm road in South Carolina one dark night a few weeks back. I have heard Stephen King is planning to write a story about my Garmin. :D

It was a joke. Most people use their phones for navigation now.
