Western Union
Re: Western Union
Not really suprised by this. No malevolence involved IMO just a mix of being not so competent ( education system here is not top notch), relatively bad informatics system and of high frequency of fraud.StroppyChops wrote:^ that looks freakishly like Amy from Big Bang Theory. Classic clip, and probably just a little more professional than what I experienced today.
Basically you ask the cashier to hand you 5 grand which you will admit it here a respectable amount of money, if the girl is not very familiar with the procedure ( like middle name not important ) she will not pays if she saw something that she thinks is not "right" .
Already in shop I see the vendor cringe each time that I pull out a 100 dollar bill, I supposed they get blame or fined if they accept a false bill. So handing 5000$ in cash to a never seen before customer ( White male Barang I might add who are not particularly know for being honest or solvable on the long term) ? Yes they must positively love to see you, that why they ask you to come again .

Re: Western Union
All good comment - but the WU agency was in an ABA bank, so you'd think 5K wouldn't be too scary a sum. I take your point on the 100s though, I've started noticing the signage in some establishment "No $100 bills, please, thank you".ryoon wrote:Not really suprised by this.
