We’ve all had or heard Walmart horror stories, from being accused to shoplifting to never being able to find someone to help you in an untidy aisle.

These people were having trouble cashing a check, but then a lightbulb went off and they got their way!

Let’s check it out.

Cashing a check at Walmart

My friend needed to pull money out of his account, we went to Walmart to get a personal check cashed.

Even simple errands at Walmart can go awry.

The lady at the service desk told us that he couldn’t cash a personal check written by himself.

We were about to leave, then I said, “She said you couldn’t cash a check written by yourself, can I cash the check if you write it out to me?”

Hm, clever workaround.

So we went back and asked her if I could cash a check written by him.

She looked defeated, said yes, and let me cash the check.

Small victories, right?

Let’s cash in on these comments.

Someone else has a similar account.

This person made a cash checking rejection… personal.

But at least it all worked out for him in the end.
