Unnecessary Rudeness is the setting for this location (Alvin). I am in awe reading the other…read morereviews. My incident is as follows: 1) Had to cash a Credit Union check for which I do not have an account with. 2) Attempted to do what the majority would do - Deposit the check into my online personal virtual account via my bank's mobile app. 3) I signed the back and took a picture of front and back as I have done before, but this time it was declined because the system could not verify the check. Who knew that the check needed to be verified during NORMAL WORKING BUSINESS HOURS WITH? This defeats the whole purpose of having an online VIRTUAL Account you think?? I then get suggestions that physically going to my bank or to the Credit Union Bank itself or any check cashing establishment would suffice to resolve this issue. * I ONLY HAVE ONLINE BANK. 4) I called this venue to confirm if this was possible, the woman that answered said "You come here tomorrow" after giving them the info on the check and after they called the credit union bank to try to verify.  Not too polished on the customer service thingy I thought, but alrighty then, sounds like a green light for me to go there tomorrow. 5) Next day, I come and the first person who noticed me walk in,  called me to her window, who so happens to be the same person who I spoke with on the phone the day before. 6) Before the exchanging of "Hello, how are you today", she flipped over my check and heckled out "You sign back of check, we cannot cash....you deposit already right?"  Excuse me but WTF was that accusatory statement? coming from the most untrained, unprofessional, tone defiant voice of a woman? 7) At a loss for words, I just turned on the voice recorder on my phone. 8) She then proceeded to call the Credit Union Bank to verify if my check was legit all the while sputtering out "I don't think we can cash for you but I try ok....cause you sign already...but I will try".   9) Personnel on the phone verified that the check is good to go! 10) The disappointment and hate she then exhibited as if I had done her wrong, said..."I call my supervisor, I cannot cash this check, you sign back and deposit already....but I try ok....Fee will be 50%" 11) At this point, I'm having my out of body experience,  trying to hold back the unleashing of a possible KAREN from within. 12) But me being me, I paused any actions as I still had hopes that this power puff woman would just cash my FREAKING CHECK that I she assumed I already deposited and charge me 50%! But NOOO.....instead....she slapped the check onto the counter and as if by default or life lessons she adheres to, to be away with anyone who is of no use to you.  Since she won't cash my check, there is no money to be made from me.  She said, and I will never forget this moment, in Vietnamese (will translate) while doing the 'shoo..go away gesture' with her hand - "OK, go away....get out of here".  Did I report this incident? I did send an email, but as you can see from the many negative reviews that this "long time established" place has...I don't think they really care or even mind. I had a good friend that worked here when it first opened.  She was great.  My apologies to her and to those who will work here in the future.  All I know is that, there can be times, even with all the right training and discipline, will never be able to completely dissolve the true nature of a person's character.  This Customer Teller Rep Bi-Lingual Exchange Student Person is the reason why EDD was created.  We all pay into the system that will pay her to not work.  I've never ranted this aggressively long before, because aside from the Cash Checking trauma ("looking like i still do fraud" song) The bitterness still lingers.

What should have been a simple task had become overwhelming, and by the time I arrived, I was struggling to think clearly and figure out what I needed. They noticed I needed help, took the time to patiently guide me, and treated me with respect, kindness and understanding. Not just help me find something in the store -- but they helped me feel grounded again. Offering compassion, patience, and even a hug when I needed one. That moment of human connection helped me reset and continue through my day. Thank you for seeing me, slowing down, and creating a safe space. Your kindness mattered more than you probably know.

I'm part of the American Legion and we came in about a month and a half ago to get three of us put on the account because two of our guys passed away. We all signed paperwork, brought ss card and 2 id's. We never heard anything back. We had to physically all go back in to sign paperwork because the people here are so incompetent they don't know how to submit paperwork properly so we have to bring in our ID And they still can't locate our information. Their bankers tell us to come in anytime. One guy went in on a Friday another on a Saturday and the people who were supposed to help us out weren't working so they told us Monday. We came in Monday and those people still weren't working. Apparently there's no communication at this branch. I told them it's been over a month and this is outrageous that I'm the treasurer I have to have access to the account to pay bills. So another lady helped me that supposedly was gonna call me by day three and no later than day three and give me access to the account. Been over a week I still haven't heard anything and I've tried calling numerous times and you cannot get a hold of a person.

At first he said we would have to come back in an hour because he was just starting his lunch hour (which I thought was totally reasonable), but then he quickly changed his mind and said he would help us. He worked as quickly as possible (I didn't blame him) but was very efficient and polite. He also showed a lot of patience with my 86-year-old mother in law, whose English is not perfect and needs a bit of extra time and help when doing things like this. I didn't feel like we were being rushed at all even though I knew he was already overdue for his lunch time. Josh was also answering questions from other passers-by while he was helping us and he was very professional with everyone. He deserves a big shout out for going the extra step in assisting us when he didn't have to (and I would not have expected him to), and for handling our transaction with courtesy and patience. Please hire more people like him!

Every time I've gone into this center the employees are rude, and almost always not doing things the right way. They don't inform you that if you use efc check they will hold your account for 7 days until of course you try to transfer or reloan at another center. So basically you are screwed especially in an emergency situation. Its ridiculous. And they expect you to do all the leg work when it's obviously their job.
