I had a similar experience this morning at the location on gulf to bay in Clearwater. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal for opting to get a money order for $2130 (over $1000 which is their threshold for Money Orders and the French Inquisition!) rather than schlepping my cash to the bank. Then when I simply questioned why I was being asked all these personal questions a manager came over and confronted me about it. That REALLY upset me, and indicated to me that intelligent people should never ask questions if they go to Amscot. I will never go to any Amscot location again unless I'm in dire need with no other options.
I was also treated like a criminal for trying to get a money order over $1000. Which they had to give me THREE money orders to get the amount I wanted. Clearwater FL gulf to bay location I will NEVER GO TO AMSCOT AGAIN. I will find other means. When I questioned why they were asking me all these questions a manager inserted herself which only upset me even more...actually I wasn't upset UNTIL the manager interjected herself. I did not ASK for a manager I simply was asking intelligent questions. Now I know, if you're smart don't go to Amscot.
