Is this where I rant????!!!!

I think I missed something.

BTW, why wire money in this day and age? If it's a late night emergency you just talk to the business they need to give the money to and put it on your credit card.

Works for car repairs, gas, food, medical, motels etc.

Everything is weird today. I won't even try to figure out this one.

I had buried this one deep down beneath the newer, more painful rants and injustices and almost forgotten it. Thanks for bringing it all hurtling back at me

I could fill an entire thread with the circumstances behind my getting roped by one family member to bail out (literally) another family member who, it turns out, was scamming both of us...but I won't do that unless you meet me for a beer or something. And I gave alkyhal up for lent so thanks for opening THAT wound!:funn:I have put the kabosh on any thoughts they might have of ever asking again.

I'm a customer service rep and based my rant on inside knowledge of how the best and the worst call centers operate. This was bad from the word go...when a CSR sighs and makes you feel like you are keeping them from something important, things are going to blow up.

Because jails and bondsmen don't take credit cards or checks.

I'm right there with ya;-)

I think jail takes credit cards.

I think jail takes credit cards.

Doubt it since you can challenge the charge. I realize how stupid that sounds, but I remember when Bay County stopped taking checks due to the number that people were bouncing. Kinda bad to bounce a check to the office that prosecutes bad checks. :roll:

On another note I'm betting bigger cities have that option, but the small county jail in a rural area is probably gonna be cash or gold.

On another other note: when I went to get friend from the pokey late Sunday, I can honestly state that I have never experienced and encountered so many illiterate people in one place as the employees of the detention center. At one point I was certain they were going to cuff my GF with me for asking the simple question, "When will 'friend' be coming out? You've held her for 15 hours." You can probably use your credit card to bail yourself out here, but the mess that overshadows this City is a complete atrocity.
