I understood that WM doesnt auto-drain. And that w /o the csr inputting anything the reg will try and take the full amount off the card that is swiped no matter what. Guess it works out if you only want 1 MO for $499.30 or less than that amount. If the MO is for $499.31 or greater it wont work w/o the csr inputting the amount before we input the pin on card #1.
So a MO for $500 you swipe your card its Declined since its trying to take $500.70 off then $500 card. If you want an MO for $600 the csr needs to input $500 for the 1st card, you swipe and input pin, then you can swipe the 2nd card w/o the csr doing anything since the reg will want only $100.70 and as long as the card has that amount or more on it it will work w/o anyone doing anything else, < $100.70 on it 'Declined'

Nope. I'm fully aware of how swipes work at WM, and I possibly have more experience in the matter. If you read what I posted, comprehension would tell you my response was in regards to my failed interpretation that you said you couldn't pay cash for the 68c fee on a $500 MO GC swipe.
Read for comprehension. There was no mention of a CC buying a MO. Its referring to buying a MO for $999.32 and depositing directly with CC company.

See below.
Actually, you obviously have the issue with comprehension because Happy and I BOTH pointed out your incorrect statement. This is the FIRST time that you've mentioned that you misunderstood her statement. Even after I pointed it out to you. Maybe it meant something else in your head but the way it reads does not match. But there's no reason to keep going back and forth about this.
The poster obviously has a peculiar way to express himself - it is not a coincident that BOTH you and I would interpret it the way we do.

Now on the other hand, if you are using SMGCs for WM MOs or BP and WM wants you to fill out a SAR report, I'd think twice about putting your real information and SSN on the form. All the WMs I frequent keep it in a binder in the customer service center in plain sight. Someone could literally just walk off with the binder. I am NOT comfortable with WM employees having that data. Especially considering the turnover and lack of pay they receive.

You can complain to whoever you want, it would not change a thing. The store manager would just tell you to go elsewhere. If a store's policy requires a form to fill out, the best thing is to avoid using that store because as we all know, there is absolutely NO Security whatsoever at WalMart.

Yup, oh well.
Actually no. I disagree. If I complain about my own personal information just laying out where anyone can grab it and take a look, I think there is a chance something will be done about it. Further more if I bring this to the attention of corporate, I don't see how they cannot address a security risk of that magnitude. Will it help me to M$? Most certainly not, but if I see this supposed binder just thrown in an unlocked drawer somewhere I will raise hell about it. That is a very unproffesional way to store peoples information.

Now if Simon was having the same problem I would say yes mention it since Im sure they would want to know so as to prevent the possible theft of said info. Its simply 2 way different corporate cultures where Simon cares and WM wont till it costs it way too much money not to.
