    Went To Get Money Via W U
    and the place didn't have the cash since it just opened for the day. The guy tells me I can go to my bank with my money order from W U and get it there, or maybe come back later in the day when he has the money. Should I go to my bank, come back later, or just go to a check cashing store to get the money? My worry with the bank is that they would find out where the money is coming from and question me about it, while the check cashing store and other place do not give a fukk. Is it safe to get my money order cashed from my bank or what? I have to wait a few hours since I have to go to work now, so I'll deal with it later. Any suggestions?

    Usually check cashing stores have **. Get it there.

        It's a ** m.o.,banks aren't looking twice.Usually if you wait until late in the day cash is not a problem especially with a grocery store.

          The money order isn't a big deal at all... If anything, its better then a real check because all it says is **.

            No reason for a bank to ever question a W U money order..

                  Agreed. It's essentially the same as cash.

                    Agree with the above. A bank can't (and wouldn't) trace a money order from a third party vender anyway.

                          All the posters above are correct...a money order isn't like a goofy canadian check that you get from most books...banks couldn't give 2 shits about it. Just like cash!

                            A money order is as good as gold. No question about it

                                Yeah, I'd probably hold off and get cash. No point in creating more and more paper tracks giving you more of a chance to have an issue or bounced check.

                                  I ended up going to a check cashing place to get the cash and then to wal mart to send it off.
