I tried cashing a money order with a verified remittance slip AND store receipt. Off the bat the Asian teller was suspicious. It is a standard National Express money order. She questions, "can we accept this kind" and then it's, "look it's taped". So what?! That doesn't make it invalid! Is a taped check or cash also invalid? No, as long at its watermarked and contains all the pertinent serial and account numbers. My 8 year old niece knows that. Who trained her?
She eventually all sheepishly goes to get her manager. She comes over and confirms they won't accept it. It's clearly legit, water marked, with the remittance slips and a store receipt. Complete incompetency. Rather than go back in forth I just leave annoyed, and drive 30 mins to the downtown location.
There I am greeted by Kaylee , she is super nice, and is able to cash it without any issues. She even had another employee shadowing her as this was done.
So not only is the 82nd store incompetent - this is the 2nd time in less than a year I have had a poor service there. Once, I think maybe it's the teller having a bad day. But twice? Hmmm. I'll drive the 30 mins and go elsewhere. read more
