Off topic off topic, but?

Post by Savage »

Can anyone explain to me why I cannot buy a money order with my debit card, but I can swipe my debit card, receive cash from the clerk, and then use that cash to buy the money order? Because, I'm confused. Oy don ged id. Cashiers, bank tellers, accountants, help me out.

Because the clerk's company has to pay a 3% fee on the transaction or they lose their franchise agreement. So you basically paid the vig on the whole gig.

Oh, and fuck the DMV. Our identity got stolen, so we have to jump through hoops. Money orders? I thought those were as dead as Traveler's Checks.

Or as dead as that piece of shit who stole our identity/bank account numbers. I will beat him or her until he or she cries like a hungry baby.

Bless your simple heart. Do not even joke like that. Or I will find a way to remove your liver while you still live.
