To me, that is a debatable action only because of my limited opportunities to MS in my area and I never want a transaction to not go through. I'll just whip out a couple of my real debit cards and complete the transaction if necessary and just eat the $.70. I also never order a $2000 money order, but instead just $1000 or $999.30. THEN, if everything goes smooth, i say "I want to do that exact transaction again". Yes it costs an additional $0.70, but it limits my exposure and gets the attendant focused on doing it again.
For those that say they are eating $500, THAT SEEMS INSANE.
