Lynchburg Wal-Mart HIDDEN STORE SECRET CLAUSES Lynchburg Virginia
Hope you always pay with CHECK cards or debt cards or cash.On cash, they rip you off, Kxxxxr(((REDACTED))) is cheaper for same items. On credit card, they deny you transactions blaming your bank because of downed connection to thiers.
on CHECK...do not gt me started.Its MY BANK. I have an ESTABLISHED ACCOUNT for OVER 6 months, MY NAME and address are on the check and the FUNDS are available. PEOPLE MOVE. Sometimes not everybody updates thier checkbook right away.
If you don't want my funds, just say so, I will GLADLY go elsewhere. My CHECKS come from a GLOBAL bank.You can check in an instant if funds are available.(and they ARE.)
Yet you come up with some BS excuse that my 'account is just opened'?? BULLS**T.I've had it for OVER SIX MONTHS.I don't usually write checks, BECAUSE NOBODY WILL TAKE ONE these days.They demand instant transfers instead.
This from a store who will CASH anyone's check for CASH for ANY amount.(assuming it auto reads, of course, those idiots DO NOT know how to hard key ANYTHING.If it doesn't auto-read, even if the check is from the US GOVT., Wal-mart, will NOT cash your check.)
I'd wire you the money in 5 minutes if it didn't COST ME MORE.
My check card was closed due to FRAUD on the account that I didn't authorize.I HAVE to WAIT for another.MY SHELVES ARE ALREADY EMPTY.My funds are GOOD.
WHAT THE HELL is the G-D problem?

1 - Go to your bank and withdraw cash to use until your new card comes in. Why is it that people don't think about doing this anymore? Have we all been brainwashed so much that carrying cash anymore is just not considered?
2 - If Wal-Mart charges more than Kroger for certain items, take your cash to Kroger and spend it there.
I don't see how you were ripped off here.

They would not take a personal check from you?
"I have an established account for over 6 months"
That's not very long. That's a new account. I've had an established account for over 10 years. That's an established account.
If you have not written checks to a particular vendor before, expect problems these days. Most places will let you write *1* check in their system until it clears. Example: if a business uses telecheck, the first time you write them a check it will clear. Then there is a 7 day hold placed on your account until the funds clear. Until this hold is removed, you will not be able to write any further checks to them. This goes for any merchant they serve in the area.
The merchant does not check to see if funds are available. When they run your check, they are just checking to see if there are any bad checks in their system. If the check is not too low a number, too high an amount, you haven't written too many checks that day, and you are in their system as a customer, then it will approve your check.
Do some research, this is not a wal-mart thing. This is a business thing.
