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 am not mad!

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! @@

"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!!
