Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). I also have a weekly podcast called The M Show which is great for your commute to work (or even if you don't commute). You can also listen to Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com

Fuck You Western Union

Western Union sucks.

I’m trying to send $150. Western Union needs more information than it took me to get a mortgage. Not only do I have to enter every peice of information that I needed to get my mortgage, I also had to take a multiple choice exam about the financing, make and model of some car I bought 12 years ago.

If your business relies on people like me remembering if a piece of shit Saab that I owned more than 10 years ago for less than a year is colored Champagne or Light Bronze you’ve earned the business you’re not getting. I’m just trying to get some stuff done here, thanks for not helping.

John, if your contractor understands what a podcast is, I think you need to tell him/her to enter the 21st century and get a PayPal account.

It’s come to the point that PayPal is the only option left! That or not doing the job!

Western Union is just complying with Federal Rules that require difficulty in any transaction over $0.12 just in case you may be sending aid and/or comfort to people of terror. The word asshats comes to mind.

LOL. Not laughing *at* you, John. Just enjoying the thread. And Lori’s contribution. LOL.
