I am not mad!

February 13th, 2008 at 03:54 pm

Yesterday, I posted about going into my hometown bank that I have been using for about 12 years. I go there 2 or 3 times a week.
For the first time ever, I was asked for my I.D.
When I posted this yesterday, I got several comments. I guess everyone assumed that I got mad when the teller asked for my I.D.
Quite to the contrary, I was just in shock! It is the first time ever that I have been asked for my I.D. as a bank customer.
I think it is a very good idea. The teller did not know me and was fairly new. I think the bank is making it a requirement and that is a good idea.

So, I was just a bit shocked, but not upset a bit!! I will just make sure to take my purse inside with me from now on. ( I almost left it locked in the car)

    I would recommend taking the purse in regardless...Folks seeing a purse, or seeing you walk away from the car without one, are way to likely to break a window to grab it...even in nice small towns.

    You know, it is funny. When I first moved here, everyone left their purse in the car, with the window rolled down, the doors unlocked and the keys in the car!! I never got that trusting!!

    I totally agree with you Ima/Julie.

    When I first started at my current job (20 years and a different owner ago) I used to cash my paycheck, a co-worker's paycheck, make bank deposits for the owners son,(who was attending law school out of state) plus do personal banking for the owners in addition to the business banking.

    I was NEVER once asked which one, if any, of these people I was! @@

    Well, some people that I was offended and I should just move my money to another bank. I agree, when I worked, we would all send our paychecks with one gal to get them cashed.

    Julie, I did not think you were mad either...I was just sharing the perspective of "behind the scenes at the bank" for all of the responses who implied that you should close your account....

    "Can I see your ID"...should always be followed with, "Yes and thanks for taking care of my accounts so carefully!!"... I am sure your bank would really hate to lose your account!!
