A Florida man born without arms says a Tampa bank would not let him cash a check because he couldn't provide a thumbprint.
It was supposed to be a quick stop at the Bank of America.
Valdez said he was cashing a check from his wife, who has an account at Bank of America. But the teller told Valdez she needed a thumbprint in order to cash it — it was company policy.






Thain didn't provide a thumbprint
That's when the policy went into effect.

Just another example
of the moronic policies that the banks are implementing. The increase in credit card interest rates is another. It really is disgusting what some of the biggest banks in the country have gotten away with, especially considering how much taxpayer money was used to bail them out.
