Well, confirmed in PIT. They have a little print-out slip of paper taped to the register at the CS desk with a script, "We're sorry.... Target will no longer... to align with other..." (What the heck is that "to align" shtick anyway?)
Anyway, I asked to try a VGC as a debit and they insisted CASH ONLY but since this is OOT and the jerkos haven't ruined it here, I was able to ask nicely and get them to try the VGS. Yes, it works. So basically RC is now no worse than BB was.
