I sold some Model A parts to a barner and requested a personal check or +3% for paypal. I got a postal money order instead. Just happened to be at the PO which I try to avoid like the plague and I attempted to cash the MO after waiting in line with 15 people and two clerks. I give it to the clerk and she disappears for several minutes. "They are checking on the MO." Oh well, just give it back to me! Several more minutes of waiting to get it back and still not cashed. Next time I will say if your send me a postal MO I will send it back in addition to send me a personal check or +3% for paypal. Oh and if the idiot Federal postal employees lose your letter with a postal MO in it and you can find your receipt, you pay $5 to see if someone has cashed it and then 6 months to get your money back. Can't find the receipt, you lost your money. I'm out $58 for that one. Now why is it that so my barners like postal MOs?
