Racist Fred Meyer employee refuses to allow me to send money to Africa?
I was sending a Western Union to my wife's family who's home country is Africa over Christmas. After stating my intent, the woman drills me with questions... "Why are you sending there?, how do you know them, how long have you known them, where did you meet them, whats the purpose, have you been to that country, when was the last time you saw them, have you met them in person..." I interrupted her and with a kind smile I said " You Don't Need To Ask Me All These Questions. It's very intrusive, I know the policy, I am verified and have presented my ID. I just want to send this money without feeling like you are judging me or accusing me of something negative. " This clerk says, " I don't like you, you are in here too much and I'm not letting you send money to that country. I don't like it, I'm not doing! " She leaves, tells her manager that I'm giving her a hard time and cussing her out, then has security come by as another customer is acting tough and rescuing Fred Meyers from my evil plans, trying to fight me for being frustrated that for some reason this woman has the power to do all this. She then goes to the lady that had been behind me in line and says, "he wants to send money to ----- and I'm not doing it. That place is a SH$T hole. I love Fred Meyers it's a great store but... ... today I went to Fred Meyers to pick up some funds from Western Union and I was told that I'm not allowed to use Money Services anymore. I am 100% validated, presentable and respectful yet somehow this racist white woman at the Fred Meyers on 15609 E Sprague Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99037, who wouldn't allow me to send money has found a way to ban me from using money services, because she doesn't like the African country that my wife is from? I'm a white man and this is so negative and RACIST against an entire country that I'm blown away to witness this first hand. I'm disgusted and angry at Fred Meyer for supporting this woman and her lies.
