Walk in to send some funds offshore scary Walmart customer service lady who is coughing and hacking up a storm tells me she does not feel comfortable sending money for me. Says ** gave her permission to deny people. Really wierd I just walked out not causing an issue drove to the next one and sent it.

It was only 300.00 and I have not sent one in about a month. Strange shit.

Either:
1) She did not know to send it, and didn't want to go get someone who could do it.

2) Shewas about to go on her "break" and you were going to screw that up.

3) Just flat out didn't want to do it, so she gave you that lame excuse.

Basically she was just lazy and didn't want to do her job. Hell I have sent 3K before using **(gold-pay then to Matchbook) and never had a problem.

[PAPSMEAR]

what's it got to do with her fat ass anyways. shit on the counter before you walk out next time

I had a weird experience at WalMart a few weeks ago as well. I received a check from Bodog and went to Customer Service to have the money put on a WalMart moneycard (the more you can avoid banks these days, the better, imho). The customer service lady took the check and asked me what it was for. . .I wish I could say I gave a great, smart-ass answer, but I told her it was a rebate check. She then asked me what kind of rebate it was. . .once again, the great answer from me was "auto." She then told me that she was declining the transaction because it wasn't a payroll check. It seemed to me that if that were true, she would have said that in the first place. I got the hell out of there and went to the bank, where I had no problem.

I thought it was just a weird situation, but hearing about what happened to Wisky makes me wonder if WalMart is being more careful and are training people to watch out for gaming transactions?

I was just thinking the same thing.


I can go down the street and play slots, ponies, poker and black jack but I can't make a wager on a professional sporting event. Unreal.

exactly

[tltaylor89]

They always think its a suspicious transaction either that or they think youre a drug dealer trying to Launder money or it could be they are mad you send more money than they make in one year

[tltaylor89]

Also they scrutinize youre checks harder because people mostly mexicans come in and pass bad checks

Couldn't have said it any better myself

[wisky]

Saturday morning she probably just got done sending a bunch of these and was pissed. I think she was just a nut ! I was speechless when she said it. Might go there again as Mr Smith.

[DeluxeLiner]

go to a different wal mart...it's cool

[Cecil Collins]

You are all going to have a prob sending money soon. I am blacklisted from ** because the amounts I have sent and received offshore and also ** doesn't go through all the time. Local action is soon going to be the only option. My local just closed up, I now can't send to offshore and have no local. Sucks.

[Shortstop]

What a hassle!

[iwutitan]

It is issues like these that makes me think moving to European is seeming like an easier solution

[firedawg]

i tried to send ** yesterday and was told i am "blocked" from using ** services?
dont understand what all this means

[robmpink]

She probably saw the location to where it was to be sent.

No. You are the property of your government, which knows what is morally best for you.

those are the great employees at wal mart .quality people wink wink

[capitalist pig]

I was denied recieving a ** payout a couple weeks ago. Ive used ** maybe 4 times in the last 3-4 years. ** customer service is worse than any of the books out there, after about 6 calls, I finally got them to tell me that either my name or the senders name is on the ** black list. They wouldnt tell me which one it was. Im afraid this is going to start happening alot more in the coming weeks.

later

It's truly scary. Now you have people tell you whatyou can and can't do with your money. This country has become more Russian than Russia. We've become what we depised for the last 92 years.

I went and tried to cash a check from a book a while back and the lady was like "do you know where this check came from?" and I got irritated and said ''no i don't , I ust have random people and companies write me checks all the time, guess I am lucky." she countered with a comment about how if it were a fraudulent check then my account would be shut down and all this shit. So, then I asked her is she was asking if I was a sucker then. She got defensive and nice after that because I was getting pissed. Point is, it;'s my ****ing money and I am a grown ass man!

[maersksealand]

Call ** and ask them if they have those ** stations where you send the money using an ATM like machine (in my area they have some inside some 7 Eleven)http://www.cspnet.com/Media/Publicat...ygram200_0.jpg. This way you don't have to put up with some lazy workers and their ocasional mistakes, and this way you can send money on Sundays too. Also I think you can do it online if you set up an account.

Nice how those tellers with double digits IQ are trying to protect us. They are not even able to give you the correct change without the cash register telling them how much they owe.

Glad the Piggy Wiggly down the street dosent care about wtf im sending.

I will try that so do you use a DC ?

[tltaylor89]

Try a grocery store

With the machine you use cash. Online I guess they will ask for a DC...never used the online service. But the machines are great.

[big joe 1212]

Wow, someone at Walmart has that kind of authority???

[nybigapple]

Wow. I know ** itself has some security checks, but the Walmart Lady? I sent $500 through **'s online website. I put my account number on the notes, and they froze the transaction. When I called in they grilled me on if it was for a business purchase. I said no a friend, but then they were like what the code was for in the note? Well I start stuttering up a storm and acting a fool. But in the end she was like "okay...whatever"

Yes it's, complete contrast to Ireland betting wise. I can think of at least 7 bookies within a 20 min WALKING distance from my work that I can place a sports bet. There is litreally thousands of bookies around. You're always 5 mins away from a bookie.

[kmarinouofm]

i have done both ** and ** online and in person..

never had issues.. only had one payment blocked once on ** and it wasn't even for gambling.. the only thing that sucked was that i had to go back to a location to get the money back
