Continental Currency Services

I come here to get quarters for laundry. They charge 25 cents for a roll of quarters. The clientele here is pretty shady. If you can get passed that, then it’s all good.

Paid over $ 100 for TAP Card/​bus pass, but CCS failed to put the funds onto the card. A more detailed experience summary is below:
I started a new job at a major firm in Downtown LA, so I decided to save costs by taking the bus to work. I wandered by Continental Currency Services one evening because they sold TAP Cards/​bus passes.
I went in to buy a TAP Card with an EZ Pass Zone 1 so I can board the Metro busses and the Commuter Express busses. I paid $ 2 for the card itself, $ 106 for the EZ Pass Zone 1, and I loaded up $ 10 on the card too.
They do not accept credit card. In terms of cards, they only accept Debit cards, but they charge you a $ 4.00 fee. I had no other choice, so I paid $ 122 for my TAP card/​bus pass.
During the month of November, I only had 3 work days (hence the $ 10), and the EZ Pass Zone 1 is for December.
Anyways, so I paid. The card worked fine during those November days, as the balance per ride was taken out from the $ 10 I put in. However, in December, it said that I had nothing in my card, but I obviously paid $ 106 for my EZ Pass Zone 1 to commute to work.
I called Continental Currency Services, and oh man, they were no help whatsoever. Well, at first, I called the location on 6^th and Broadway, and the lady there was very helpful. She was looking up all the transactions on that day I came in to purchase, etc. She even gave me the number for this location, so I thought that this location would be equally as helpful. NOPE. BIG MISTAKE. The lady that spoke to me was not helpful at all. One thing she said was that, «oh, since there were other transactions that day with people buying same/​similar things, we cannot help you so you must come back to the store with your card.» Uhhh… well, don’t you record the card numbers and such? It sounds like poor inventory control/​internal control. I offered to give the time and date I came in, but apparently that wouldn’t have been helpful. Well, it was helpful to the other location, so there is inconsistency amongst Continental Currency Services locations.
What now? I’m short $ 106, and I have to argue my way to board the bus again?
My bank will be filing a partial dispute ($ 106 out of $ 122), and I am loading my TAP Card online at TAPTOGO. I wished I already had a TAP card to potentially avoid this mess, but hey, I’m quickly getting the hang of the bus systems in LA.
What a wasted effort. Never again.
