If she wasn't half-naked, I'd recommend it to more people.

I've been reluctant to direct others to that video as well.   I just shrugged innocently when I was asked about that spiral mask thingy she wears.


At the cashier, regardless of transfer amount, I'm asked for photo ID. They will not continue unless I give an ID.

That's bogus!

Here's what the AML Compliance Guide from Moneygram says:

Quote
Before completing a Send and / or Receive of $900 or more, you must obtain and record the customer’s government issued photo ID.

So if your transfer was under $900, they weren't required by Moneygram to check your ID.

You might print out pages 1 and 7 of the guide to show them.  Maybe that will help the clerk "remember" instances where they don't need to collect ID.
