A little rant/background: I owe my old roommate some money and apparently it is difficult to get it to him. He is in another state temporarily to work and so doesn't have a bank account local to there. He suggested a money order from Walmart since it was cheap and he did that to pay someone else. So I went to Walmart, asked the lady if another Walmart would cash it, she said yes as long as the person I send it to signs it, not me, and puts payable to Walmart (otherwise is 2nd or 3rd party thing and they won't).
A blank money order in the mail ain't good, but he got it, went to Walmart who told him they don't cash that, after he already wrote payable to Walmart on it. Nice, that money order is now worthless.
I took the stub and Walmart receipt back to tell them what they told me is not true and that I want a refund. They won't give me one. And they also can't know if it's been cashed or not. I figured that is BS and now know it is, since they have an automated phone number just for that purpose. What pissed me off was she just sat there, didn't want to do a damn thing, and expected me to just eat $120.
He is going to send the money order back as it does him no good since it's made out to Walmart and can't be changed, yet can't be cashed at Walmart. Then I'll try and get a refund from Walmart again. If not, I think I can get it from Moneygram which is gonna cost $12, 30-60 days, and a pain in the ass in general.
And so I still owe my friend. What's a good way to do it? After sending a blank money order, may as well have sent cash, but I don't want to be out another $120 if they fuck me around on the refund.
