Maybe you have been to a bank before that required you to give up a thumb print when cashing a check. Perhaps you felt a little put out for having to go through this for any number of reasons. Well, you should count yourself lucky. At least you have thumbs, unlike Mr. Valdez who was refused when attempting to cash a check at a Bank of America branch in Tampa, FL. Lacking arms, he was unable to give up the requisite thumb print and the manager was unwilling to break policy.

Steve Valdez says he was shocked when he was told he had to put his thumbprint on a check written on his wife’s Bank of America check. Valdez says the check was written to him with the same address he has on his driver’s license. Although he had two forms of identification both with pictures, the bank still required Valdez to give a thumbprint before it would cash the check.

Yeah, but were they real ID or did they have the name Mclovin on them? Allegedly they were real and the upper level suit wearing types think the manager was made of FAIL, not win and awesome. Oops.

A spokesman for Bank of America says while the thumbprint is a requirement for those who don’t have accounts, the bank should have made accommodations.
