So, I realize the time is now when I receive an email less than two days before the end of September.. Seriously, WTH! Snail mail is faster!? Who the heck is in charge of these damn emails! So.. after a recuperative, lazy, funday Sunday I chose to hit Currency exchange. Thank goodness for 24 hour locations. All day other locations were full of people. I would wager that other Chicagoans also got their reminder emails late. So, I waited till the middle of the night and hit this location. It is so dirty in here. Brightly lit which is great to keep the wacky folks away. The lights are so bright you can see all the grime on the walls, the floors, the aerial splatters of grime. It's all there. Evidence of a dirty room but I digress.. It's a currency exchange and what seems to be a source of quick cash for the common citizen. Don't have a bank account? No worries, they'll cash it for you and take a nice cut in the process. Currency exchanges can also process a number of other services for people lacking the ability to stay on track/time with their payments. All for a fee of course. It is what it is. There are many services available and for a full list, it's wise to call. But, they don't often answer quickly. I was there for a city sticker and that's what I got. I didn't experience any of the crazy stuff mentioned in other reviews, though that did alarm me and was extra cautious. Luckily there was one ahead of me that took quite a while cashing a check. But when it was my turn the cashier was courteous and I walked out of there, sticker in-hand. If buying a state or city sticker, cash is king and will save you on additional fees. FYI. No free parking lot. You are limited to metered parking on all sides.

Great friendly service! I would highly recommend using them for all your car title registrations.read more

I had a simple transaction- cashing a small child support check. There was an older white woman working and she appeared to be alone. She refused to cash my check because I didn't live in the area. WTF?? Check had my name on it and my license matched. She definitely got a piece of my mind before I left but i was so angry. I can't help but to think it was racial issue. Old white women are normally racist. She told me to go to some other location nearby on Lincoln. I'm like if you're saying you can't cash because I don't live in the area- then what are they gonna do? I have contacted corporate but have yet to hear from them.

Remember the part about the dream vacation? I was in a pret-ty good mood going in there. The "gentleman" behind the counter refused to notarize it because he didn't understand the word "passed." (This document passed and signed on __ day of ___ month, et al.) That is not my complaint, however. I could have forgiven this man's insolence about signing the document and gone somewhere else with no hard feelings, had I been treated politely. I wasn't. I was condescended to with an abrupt, gruff, remorseless snarl, the likes of which I didn't even think they ALLOWED in Chicago: the city that's "Glad You're Here!" I was aghast at being spoken to so rudely, and expressed as much. I told him I intended to Yelp about the experience. He handed me my paperwork and told me to "go Yelp somewhere else." I will, and I beg you to do the same.

Is it possible that the morons who manage this Currency Exchange know something about the world economy that the rest of us don't? You know, because of COVID! Clearly, the name of the business, "Currency Exchange," is itself a falsehood. Perhaps they should change the name to "No Useful Services Provided Here" or "Currency Exchange...NOT!!" Ridiculous!

The wait was extremely long and I was lucky to score a sticker just before midnight. The day was long and tedious for their staff which towards the end of the night, they dropped to a single attendant. Why?? Who knows. But in that time a few other revelations came to mind, first and foremost that the clean smell I had already gotten used to was not sandalwood! Oh travesty.. it was Pine-Sol or some other generic brand. Another revelation was that this location happens to be a hub for Western Union customers, which increased my wait time significantly. If needing currency exchange services, it's wise to call ahead and have questions ready. Like; is your credit card machine working? (Because it wasn't when I visited and to pull cash at their "foreign market" ATM service it was a $2.95 charge.) How long is the line presently? and how many windows may be available when I arrive at such and such a time?

I decided not to get a neighborhood street parking sticker since I am extremely lucky and have garage parking. But I will go online and get temporary neighborhood stickers for when friends come to visit and need to park on the street. Don't have to visit an office for that. And they helped me realize I could go ahead and pay for for a two year city sticker so I don't have to worry about that again for a while.
