Today my tenant in Brighton sent me 1,000 via western union. I drove around to several WU and none of them had 1,000 in cash on them. What kind of bush-league operation is this? So I got pissed and called the 1-800 number at WU and observed that you practically have to push 2 to get English and Spanish is the default language....but that's a whole nother issue.
So the 1-800 guy told me to go to the check cashing place on 6 mile and Middlebelt. While the facility was nice and clean, it was a horrible experience. The clientele that go there are the ones who get pay-day loans. Its pathetic. And I was stuck in there for about 15 minutes and I'm sure everyone thought I was there for a payday loan as well, and I hated every second of it.
Bitter -sweet - I finally got the money but I had to go to the check cashing place. And tomorrow, he said he is sending more money through WU for me to go pick up! At least I know where to go without driving around all over town.....
