This thread reminded me of a run-in I had with a Wal-Mart here. It was over their own money orders that my parents sent to me from the east coast. In LA Wal-Marts are spread out all over the county but they're not many of them like you'd think. They're in the nether regions and getting from one to another is quite a trek. This Wal-Mart I was at told me they wouldn't cash the money order because it wasn't from their store. It says WAL-MART what the hell are you talking about?
This shit went on for I don't know how long. Manager comes over and "confirms" it's not from their store. What they failed to clarify was that it wasn't from their particular store. Now I see [/sarcasm] And I had to be the one to clear that part up because the way they were saying it was like they were saying it wasn't from Wal-Mart, next person please. They weren't getting rid of me that easy. I asked them what difference did that make and I shit you not they had no answer besides it was that particular store's policy. They just weren't going to take it. After being an utter ass the manager asked me was there anything else she could do. Honestly I walked away from her mid sentence and said gas would be nice since the next Wal-Mart is across town and the next is even further and so forth. I could hear her half-hearted sorry but I was already perplexed and thoroughly pissed at the stupidity in them not taking their own company money orders. I think I just went to a nearby check cashing place and paid the %.
