In case you want to contribute to Nigeria's GDP while touching up your fading summer tan, Western Union now has an open-air “financial services” station at the corner of 16th and Mission. MrEricSir reports:
Next time you’re falling victim to a scam on Craigslist, you can transfer the earnings of your fraudulent check via Western Union without entering an enclosed space. Thanks to San Francisco’s love/hate relationship with the great outdoors, we now have a sidewalk kiosk for money transfers.
Eric has some choice thoughts as to what we might expect next (fraudulent check food truck! Parklet!). Personally, I'm putting my money down on a combination Western Union/slow-roasted coffee bar.
