Sad to see this young man treated poorly.
Those check cashing places are notoriously shady. In future, might I suggest Walmart. They cash any check with proper ID for a mere $3 and won't call the police because you're black.

- angersock 11y agoYou...did read the article, right?
- devishard 11y agoNah, they'll just pay their workers minimum wage into accounts with exorbitant fees, thereby circumventing minimum wage laws. Many of those workers being black. I really don't wanna hear about Walmart as a solution to any sort of inequality, that's ridiculous.
- Retra 11y agoIt's not being proposed as a solution to inequality, only as a way to cash a check.
- panglott 11y agoMeh, liberals and conservatives like to immiserate the poor in different ways: conservatives try to drive down wages and liberals try to drive up prices. As a simple matter of increasing purchasing power at the low end of the economic scale, Wal-Mart has done an amazing amount to reduce poverty. Financial services are hugely overpriced for poor people, and Wal-Mart providing financial services could be a fantastic way to lower those costs.
- serge2k 11y agoI suggest a bank. One of the most basic institutions of our society. I want to be clear, I mean I would like this person to have as easy access to banking services as I do. I would like them to be able to bitch and moan because my credit union decided to change their login system and it takes me an extra 10 seconds to login.
- michaelbuddy 11y agoHeck every walmart in my area has a separate bank in it!
- jpindar 11y agoThat was my first thought too. But I'm guessing this happened in an urban area, and most Walmarts are in suburban and small town locations.
