What happened to the world? I had to leave the house today because I have a Western Union money order made out to me that my bank won't take via ATM anymore. Leaving my house is incredibly difficult after covid made my dysautonomia intractable & my pain levels aren't much better.
First, I went to @HEB because the website and a customer service rep told us on the phone that they could cash it. I get there in my wheelchair, after quite a bit of effort and discomfort I might add, only to be told they can only cash a Western Union money order FROM HEB. 🙄
I've never heard of such a thing but still, I call Walmart, they say they can cash it. I think to myself, maybe @Walmart will have more sane policies. I get there, get back in the wheelchair, nearly have an attack doing it, & get inside only to be told the same thing HEB told me.
Now, not only am I completely broke because I can't get anyone with Western Union to cash a Western Union money order, but I'm also nearly out of gas. We get home, and as always happens, I have an autonomic attack trying to get back up my stairs and my right arm paralyzed itself.
My family is struggling thanks to #covid destroying the economy and my health. My brother had to PayPal me just so my husband could AGAIN go out to get us the stuff we needed for dinner. The moral of the story, @HEB, @Walmart, and banks need better policies.
Life is already impossible enough. Don't make it even harder on people by instituting ableist policies. Used to be, they could cash any Western Union order from anywhere, and that would make sense, considering people send Western Union from all over the country.
Not every state has an @HEB or @Walmart on every corner, and not everyone is financially stable in the wake of all of this #covid insanity. Someday soon, I'll have money again. Does my lack of it right now make me any less deserving of being treated like a human being?
Or is that just for those everyone decides are worthy of their benevolence? Because I have to say, I'm disgusted with what the world looks like today. It was difficult before, now it's impossible. Why make your policies MORE restrictive in this climate? It makes NO SENSE.
