TO ALL ENLISTED: PLEASE SEE IF PREPAID VISA GIFTCARDS ARE STILL ACCEPTED AT THESE GROCERY STORES:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2018/08/01/kroger-may-expand-visa-credit-card-ban-more-stores/877927002/

DUE TO IDENTITY THEFT, ATM SKIMMERS, SHOULDER SURFERS AT MOST PLACES, IT IS WISEST TO PAY IN CASH, AND/OR PREPAID GIFT CARDS.

SOMETIMES THE CASHIERS MAKE THE CUSTOMERS RING TRANSACTIONS AS CREDIT CARDS, EVEN FOR DEBIT CARDS, TO SAVE ON TRANSACTIONAL FEES, OR TO GET SIGNATURE VERSUS PIN VERIFICATIONS TOO.
