money orders are for transfering funds without the risk of transporting cash by mail, or didn't she know that?
I don’t know what these people are thinking. It’s amscott, or amscot, or whatever they call themselves. I had a problem before at another location. They wanted me to fill out a file with them when I asked for a money order. These money orders are only about 900-1000 bucks. It’s not like I’m asking for a money order for 1.5 million.
Anyway, I already had a file with them and I gave them my ID and they gave me the money order. The place that hassled me the other day has never asked what the money would be used for before.
I’m going to come up with some good gag lines to tell them next time if they ask. I thought about telling them I was going to buy drugs with it, but I figured they might take me seriously and not give me the money order. Hell, Wal Mart has free money orders and so do other places. I even saw a pawn shop once that had a sign about free money orders.
Any ideas what I can tell them the money is for next time? How about: “I’m going to buy a vast of honey with it to do some viscosity experiments.”
