California Check Cashing Stores

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER REQUIRED for service.
Service is fair, but after several visits when sending money they asked for CA ID. No problem I gave them my government CA license for sending money. Several more visits they wanted my Social Security number which I denied, (my old SS card stated something like «not to be used for identification services») as they already have my government issued CA Driving License. Bottom line they denied me service without providing them my Social Security Number.
Manager said it’s policy to deny me service without SS# if I use them repeatedly. As a valued customer I felt they have enough information and giving out a SS# is going overboard, especially when sending money small amounts of money ($ 50-​$ 150) once in a while, never receiving money.
Bottom line, they just lost a repeat customer for good, as I’ll go to the liquor store across the street which is fast, open later, no questions asked.
PS.
I had to re-​post this message under my previous Unilocal name as my previous post was pulled by Unilocal’s rating system.

I came here a few times to send money to one of my suppliers of barber supply in PK. After the third of 4^th time they told me that I needed to create a file with them, which I had no problem doing!
After sending money so often for inventory and whatnot for my business they started to question me on why I send so much money to someone so often. Personally, I am not a fan of random people butting into my business on why or who I send money to. It’s my money, and I believe I should be able to send it to whomever without other people questioning me as if I am funding terroritic activities.
I asked them why they needed to know, and they said that it was the LAW. Thats a bunch of horse poop!
Now I go to walgreens across the street and use the western union there. Its all automatic and you pay the people at the photo counter with no problems.
NO QUESTIONS. NO FILES. NO REPETITION OF SHOWING ID OR SOCIAL.
Also, this place charges you extra if you want to send money through ATM Card. I believe its like an extra 5 to 8 percent. If you go across the street to walgreens the photo center computers are the ones with the western union. The workers are pretty friendly and can assist you for anything you would need help with.
Will never come back to this place for anything!
