Bank of America Refuses to Cash Check from Armless Man

No arms, no thumbprint, no cash.

I don't think this is as big of a problem as it seems. Tellers don't really get to make decisions like that in many situations. They're told "we require a thumbprint for anyone who does not have an account with us". The teller did the right thing... she asked her supervisor.

The supervisor made a bad decision, one that upper management would have likely disagreed with. At best the supervisor's status is similar to a Wal-Mart store manager (or assistant manager, depends on who she asked). They have some autonomy, but their actions do not always reflect corporate policy. I can't imaging BoA leadership telling their branches to deny service to people without thumbs.

If this went to court... is he required to put his hand on a fucking bible too? LOL

Everyone has the right to bear arms. He should equip both shoulder sockets with attached semi-automatic assault rifles... then ask them if they still need a thumbprint to cash a check. I'm not serious of course.

The guy has a heck of a case on his 'hands' if he decides to pursue this case.

I don't get it. He has thumbs...albeit plastic. Unless their policy states that your thumb print needs to have swirly lines on it, he should have been able to just use his fake thumbs.


I had the same thought. Where do you want me to press my thumb? I'm curious though as to how much the check was for. I would have deposited the check to my account through an ATM and withdrawn the cash. If it was for a large amount I wouldn't have expected them to cash it if I didn't have an account there.
