Banks want my money to lend my money to others or even back to myself. At least,Walmart wants me to buy my necessities.

What? Walmart wants you to spend money at their store? Those bastards. Of course they want you to spend that cashed check there. Why else would they offer the service? So what bank is open on Memorial Day weekend? Please tell me, I would LOVE to know. The interstate was backed up on Friday so, I couldn't get to the bank. Looks like I'm going to Walmart to cash my paycheck. So, am I in danger of spending all my hard earned money before I walk out of the store? Or can I go ahead and get dog food and cat food while I'm there so I don't have to stop again. If this is your only point, then their "plan" is already obvious.

You can't be people? How do you be people? I can't be people can't type. This is hilarious. Walmart never gave me a $10,000 loan at a great interest rate but if you can't get to the bank before it closes then it's really your best bet. I don't know where you bank, but mine doesn't operate on weekends or holidays and it's State Employees Credit Union. Maybe you should start cashing checks? That way no one is in danger of "wasting" their life at Walmart. How much of your life did you waste showing everyone how ignorant you are in this thread? Do the math.

What fool would go out of their way to cash a paycheck at Walmart with all the banks in the world? I have seen it all now,
walmart also sells all your personal information, it works great for them on both ends.

way, way old thread....
it used to be common practice for grocery stores to cash payroll checks
for ZERO in fee's.

WalMart can charge $3.00 because banks will charge even more...
to people who don't have accounts or don't / can't wait for float etc.

People are so stupid that its not even worth replying to them, but I can't help it! Everyone "especially" the elderly, don't feel that their money is safe in a bank so they prefer to be paid by check and keep their money in their home, not a good idea but thats the way some folks are! Others just like receiving a payroll check like they did before all of this electronic B.S of today, where if something goes wrong with their computer you wont have your money in your account anyways until the "problem" with "their computerr system is resolved" Lastly, Walmart charges $3 to cash your check, payroll, government, personal ect....You can spend your money with them or any where here in the U.S that you want to spend it! I dont care what they want you to do after you cash your check, they are not going to hold you hostage in the store until you spend your money.....Dayuuuum!!!!

You have to have good credit to open a checking account at a bank, also, a permanent address, instate driver's license, many people don't have.
