Some people take pride in upholding their companies' policies

A few months ago it was Burger King that kicked out a baby for not wearing shoes, now Bank of America will not cash a check to a man without a thumb print. Never mind that the man has no arm, and of course, no thumb. How stupid can it get????

No thumbprint, no money, bank tells armless man - Yahoo! News

I smell a lawsuit.

BoA has addressed this issue before.

It happened to a friend when she was told to give her right thumb print but she has a titanium right arm while living in Virginia. BoA sent a specialist to look into the issue, said the manager didn't enforce or explain the BoA official policies to accommodate and the staff at the branch has to do three sessions of ADA training. She didn't make a big deal about it, she wrote to the bank and they appoligized for the mistake.

As for Burger King, I am with them on that issue

My son went to BOA to cash a $20.00 check that was written
from a BOA account and they told him the only way they could
cash it was to submit his thumb print.

He left and went somewhere else to cash it.

Getting that Thumb Print is Real Important to Them! Wonder Why? Maybe they are Sending them to One of Ubumma's Czars? Something to think about, Today the Thumb Print, Tomorrow They Own You! Just a Thought

They already "OWN" Obama and will soon not only "own" you but will control you entire life!! We may be the first country in history to vote out freedom and vote in slavery. Amazing.

Kind of frightening to me.

Bank of America DID get a bailout......hmmm.

The thumb print thing has been around for over 8 years. Can you say "Loyal Bushies"? Obama has nothing to do with it.

Whenh I banked localy at a FirstMerit, they required it if you did not have an account. I seen it since then at other banks. It is used to prevent fraud. Stae ID's and DL's are easily forged.
