BAC can hardly afford any more losses. In the era of widespread identity theft and fraud, the bank needs to take a zero tolerance policy towards nefarious individuals trying to run afoul of the law. So to those like Steve Valdez, Bank of America has made its stance clear, they will not be duped.
A Florida man born without arms says a Tampa bank would not let him cash a check because he couldn’t provide a thumbprint.
Steve Valdez didn’t have an account at a Bank of America location in downtown Tampa, where he tried to cash a check from his wife last week. However, Valdez has prosthetic arms and is unable to provide a thumbprint. He says he presented two forms of identification but was still denied.
Seriously, when are you going to give this whole “blogging” thing up? What’s the plan once you fail at this? Certified poster on wallstreetoasis?
Sounds like a story the Onion would run.
He should have plastered his assprint on the bank officer’s face.
Have you seen how Steve Valdez makes change?
Is he related to Juan Valdez of coffee commercial fame?
And then the bartender said, “The nearest one is at the gas station three blocks down on your right.”

The man was just a h-armless customer.

It’s going to take an ARMy of PR reps to sweep this under the rug.
Bad Pun Mania!
In all seriousness though, I sent him a complimentary case of Boone’s (with some of those really neato straws so he can drink it) and Mystic Tan coupons that Ang Moz gave me as an apology. Hope that works cuz those are the only thing I have an abundant supply of.
@4…excellent reference attempt. I think you meant ” how he COUNTS his change” but , frankly, even though the syntax was muddled the joke was not lost on this observer.
Ken Lewis is a turd
@15 yeah, I blew it. Thanks for the assist.
@17: you meant “Thanks for giving me a hand.”
Ken says “NO Hand-outs” at BOA!
@18, well-played.
What do you bet the guy just wanted to give the teller the finger as he walked out of the bank?
@1 – Greg bought dealbreaker, he can never be fired. Eventually, Bess will leave, and then the site will fail. I give it another 6 months.
