You should have asked to have spoken to a manager over the purchase. As a WMT shareholder that really irritates me a cashier would deny a sale.
I have never had a problem using the coins at WMT to buy money orders. As one poster indicated sometimes they will just give me paper bills if they realize I am just trying to get rid of the coins, especially if I wait until I have my items in my cart before going up to the counter so they will know I am making a purchase. And if they make me buy a money order their prices are the best out there and they will sell them up to $1,000 where many places its only $500. The only time I do that is if I get a shipment and don't have a chance to go to the bank during business hours and am heading out of town. It is nice being able to deposit them in the ATM or just having the money orders to deposit later as opposed to all those coins sitting in nmy car or office.
