Percentage for check cashing, fee for money orders, stamps, mailbox, file the receipt….I had a car repo’ed because I lost the money order receipt and couldn’t prove I made the payment. I lost my job, had to wait 3 months for food stamps to start again, (This was in Tennessee during one of the recessions) Fed the boys spaghetti and margarine. Washed clothes in the bathtub. Poverty is hard work, and these mfrs pretend we’re all swinging in hammocks watching Youtube. Disgusting sadists!
