    I don't have a bad sales pitch but he had a pretty funny experience that just happened here with a new processor.

    We had a merchant come into the office to sign docs and had our new processor walk through the process with him. The funds are being used to purchase a new food truck for his distribution business and pay off his current truck. I asked the processor to get me his license and apparently there was confusion.

    One of rep looked out side and she was in the parking lot with the merchant trying to get the license plates off his truck.

    Classic. When I was at MCC, an underwriter asked a merchant for copies of their most recent rent checks, but since the merchant paid in cash they photocopied the money and sent that over. It was a photocopy of both cash and change (quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies).

    I don't remember if it was you or Paul G working the deal for us, but we had a lady doing a merchant interview for a renewal on her way to the hospital to give birth. Had to be 2005 or 2006. Crazy times.

    I remember once having a merchant list their "mobile" on the app as a Honda Accord. Too many good ones over the years, but I'll never forget that one.

    I haven't been doing this that long, a couple years. Best one I have...It was either New Logic or QuickBridge(can't remember) didn't believe the guy signing for the loan was the same guy on the drivers license. Signature discrepancy. It was a hick form West Virginia. So the guy took a photo with a cig in his mouth, beer in one hand, and piece of paper in the other hand with his signature and words saying "I am _____ ______". The deal funded an hour later.

    Hahaha! Off topic funny deal story- a computer company didn't understand how he did 80-100k sales and no one wanted to give him an advance.

    He had 100s of 39.95 charges every month. He was a webcam girl/porn addict and had multiple rendezvous at the local Marriott. There's a lot of crazy people out there!

    LOL - Probably. I have a statement in my training folder. I use it for admin to play a game called "Do you see it?" Kind of a game of catching fraud, transfers, and just funny stuff to ask before sending out a file I'll email the name.
