No thumbprint, no money, bank tells armless man
MIAMI (Reuters) – A bank in Florida refused to cash a check for an armless man because he could not provide a thumbprint.
"They looked at my prosthetic hands and the teller said, 'Well, obviously you can't give us a thumbprint'," Steve Valdez told CNN on Wednesday.
But he said the Bank of America Corp branch in downtown Tampa, Florida, still insisted on a thumbprint identification for him to cash a check drawn on his wife's account at the bank, even though he showed them two photo IDs.
In the incident last week, a bank supervisor told Valdez he could only cash the check without a thumbprint if he brought his wife in with him or he opened an account with them.
"I told them I neither wanted an account with them and couldn't bring my wife in because she was nowhere close by," Valdez told CNN.
Bank of America said in a statement cited by CNN: "While the thumbprint is a requirement for those who don't have accounts, the bank should have made accommodations."
Valdez said his treatment by the bank violated the U.S. Americans with
-
Yeah. because we should trust that everyone who wants to draw on someone elses account is always truthful. If they really want to avoid this, shouldn't he just be added to the account? Why is it the bank's fault that his wife does not trust him? Or maybe he should get his own account. Just because you are disabled, does not mean you are trustworthy.

What happened to the good old days when you could just trust a man based on his handshake..... oh, nevermind

He shoots from behind the arc.....NOTHING but the bottom of the net. They call it string music.

It really sucks that nobody there would give this guy a hand. :rimshot:
-
Bank of America really needs to get a HANDle on these type situations...
-
- will say this though, with the strict rules and policies in place, I bet the teller that denied him really felt like she had both arms tied behind her back.
-
Well, if he were to sue for discrimination,
he would at least have a leg to stand on.
-
There's something wrong about all of you making fun of this guy, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
-
This whole discussion just makes me want to face-palm....wait
-
If it was me, I would have probably kicked the bank managers ass...
-
He could file a discrimination suit but he'd have about as much chance of winning as a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.
-
I wonder if the girl that refused him will get a slap on the hand?
-
If I were this guy, I'd be coming back into the bank with an ARMy of attorneys. He's not looking for a HANDout, just to be treated equally.
-
And can't one of the largest banks in America hire better spokespeople? She really stuck her foot in her mouth in her explanation...
-
Those attorneys will be busier then a one armed paper-hanger
-
You guys do realize if he wins this case he will be raking in money, hand over fist.
-
I wish I had a hand in this case, maybe even two.
-
Can't wait too see him " High Five" his attorney.
-
But if you lost it for him AWK, I would be scared he would tell you to go fuck yourself and give you the finger...

This has to be the worst collection of jokes on teh interwebs.

Poor guy. If his wife is out of town, he can't even go home and relieve his frustrations with a hand job...
-
This thread is hands down, one of the worst ever.
-
What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs in a bank anyway?
-
His name was Steve Buzz, so I am sure that is what they called him.
Damn, that was hands down one of the worst jokes of the thread Buzz...you should be ashamed...

At least he's done with B of A.
Their overdraft charges cost an arm and a leg.
-
You guys need to get a grip.
-
The bank has a strict policy. I don't see why the guy is up in arms.
-
I've really got to give everyone a hand, this thread is quite clever.

If I was this gentleman, I would've given that teller the finger.

I'm surprised the bank manager didn't lend a helping hand

Yeah, they are either grasping the obvious or grasping at straws... like fingernails down a blackboard.

Once this guy gets an attorney, I bet he'll be on hands and knees trying to help him.
-
Well, what does he expect just walking into a bank and demanding money from the drawer, completely unarmed?

At least without being armed, he didn't have to leave handcuffed.

Gotta hand it to the news though. They really pointed out a serious problem here.

Probably a whole army of reporters trying to get a leg up on each other.

Regardless of the number of reporters... It doesn't take a Walter Cronkite to put your thumb on the issue here.

Exactly. There are plenty of reporters who'd love to get thier hands on a story like this.

I think the goverment should hand him a bailout.
-
ok, now you guys are reaching.
-
This just goes to show that if you ever lose your arms, you should keep one of your thumbs on hand just in case.
-
Maybe if he hadn't gotten upset and tried a little humor he could have disarmed the teller and avoided this scene.
-
You know, it just seems the media would have something more important to focus on, like our national gambling problem. Putting your money in those one arm bandits is the devil's work.

I wonder if this story ever got any legs, or was BoA held harmless?
