Just shut up and give me your ID and shut up coworker!

[MoonChild2007]

I swear, its like ALL DAMN WEEK I have been getting these arrogant assholes who think they are so damn important that EVERYBODY has to know who they are!

Ugggghhh!

Today i had TWO arrogant women treat me as if I commited a crime! I asked for her ID and she gives the TIRED lines, "i have been here for years!" "is this new!" and I kept telling her the same crap over, over again. She finally gave up and asked for her check back. Good, one less person to scam me! However, a coworker vouched for her and had it cashed. After that, my coworker who should mind her own damn business tells me that I knew who she was and that I have taken care of her before. Please, I deal with over 1,000 customers a year, some of them come EVERYDAY and some of them don't! I wanted to tell her to mind her own business and unless she has had 3 checks returned cause she SUPPOSEDLY knew the customer when she didn't, she should shut up!

Then I had another customer who cashed a 1000 SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK and when I asked for her DL, she says in an arrogant tone, "you must be new". I tell her I have been here for 2 DAMN YEARS! She then asks me some stupid questions like, "do I have to show you my dl when I come to you?" THAT WAS THE STRAW. I told the dumb bitch that I am doing this to protect ME and YOU cause if somebody steals this check, you are shit out of luck and I get in trouble for it so shut the fuck up!

I can't stand this job and these idiots for customers!

I can't believe your bank allows people to cash checks without ID. I'm quite happy that my bank tellers are paranoid enough to check my ID every time I come in.

I have only cashed a check at a bank without id once. I worked for my fathers business, and cashed my check at the bank where they did all of their business. So they usually recognized me. I still always gave them my ID with the check, until one day I had lost my wallet, was broke, and needed cash to get a new ID. So I just gave them my check and hoped for the best. They gave me my money and no trouble.

There are some customers who come to the bank everyday so i clearly know them by face and name, that's not the problem. The problem is that some customers who i HARDLY see everyday come in and bitch about why we need to see their DLs. It also doesn't help that some customers will go to the SAME teller every single day. I know they are just doing it cause some of them feel more comfortable with a particular teller but they must learn not to BITCH when one of us who never took care of you asks for ID. Sometimes I wonder if some customers only say this teller does it for them all the time when THAT teller did it for them ONCE and that's it. A teller would do it once for a customer and that same customer will come back to another teller and moan that they "do" it for tnem all the time. Dumb customers.

Also, I have been with the bank for 2 years now and as a customer for 2 years, is it possible for me to KNOW that some "OLDER" customers (who have the MOST PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE ASKING FOR IDS) have been with this bank for 20 years? Hell freaking NO! Some customers need to get over themselves.

The tellers at my bank rarely ask to see ID when I cash a check, but I wouldn't throw a fit if they did. I'd just show it and let them do their jobs. I figure that it's for my benefit that they ask such feats of me.

[Bank Lady]

"Can I please see your photo ID?"
"I've been a customer here for 30 years. Why do you need my ID?"
"Because I haven't worked here for 30 years. I haven't even been alive for 30 years. Just show me the d@mn ID or get the he!! out!"

In my vindictive fantasies, this is how the conversation goes.

[MoonChild2007]

Sorry for the Language but this jerk really pissed me off!

Some son of a bitch actually REFUSED to show me his DL today and the check was for 1100! ! Boy thank god my manger was sitting right next to me cause I would have gone STRAIGHT to my branch manager's assistant manager and told his trifling ass off. If I EVER see his face again, i will not CASH any of his checks. he gave me NO reason to trust him. I will only cash his checks whenever my manager who approved the check is around. I have never seen him before in my whole damn career and he has the gull to refuse to show his DL to me. Asshole. If my manager wasn't there to approve it, I will not give the check back to him if he refuses cause he will take the check somewhere else and try this bullshit with another teller. I will take it to my manager to see if she KNOWS him to. Oh and get this, after all that, HE FINALLY SHOWED ME HIS ID! I just blew it off.

It makes me wonder if he would refuse to show his dl in front of a police officer! I hope they lock his ass up! Asswipe,.

When I do anything other than a straight cash deposit at the bank I just automatically get out my license. It's just easier.

We have a lot of grumpy old customers who are regulars and come into the bank. For them we don't ask for ID other than maybe the first or second time we see them. But I swear that some of these people live at the bank since they're there every day! We're also a smaller, community type bank, and it's also a favorite hang out spot of senior citizens, so most of these people have been banking there forever and do make their presence known.

We have more problems with the younger customers who come in. We get the kids who think they can just take money out of their accounts, but in reality their parents have the account set up so that they can't just take money out. And with the government checks, we've been getting a lot of checks that are made out like, "Jane Doe for Sally Doe" and Sally Doe is the person cashing the check, not Jane. Too bad, so sad, in that case Sally Doe can go home and get mommy to cash the check for her.

And because of the power of e-mail, as well as the fact that we're a small bank, we have the ability to e-mail all of the other branches and alert them if somebody is trying to pull a fast one. That way if one branch says no then the rest of the branches know to say no as well.

But seriously, if I go into a bank I don't normally use in order to cash a check, I fully expect to be asked for ID. That's just a way of life. I don't understand why people get so pissy about pulling a plastic card out of their wallets every so often so that the clerk/cashier/teller can make sure that the person writing the check is who they say they are.

OH GOD I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT!

I worked at the gas station for a year. A year. I saw a lot of people in a year. I recognized some people easily, other's not so easily.

Constantly I got:

"You must be new. They NEVER check my ID."

"Ye manager NEVER makes me show ID"

"You can't card me! I come in every day!"

Top 5 reasons

1. Too damn Lazy
2. Are too embarassed by their age
3. Are god's gift to the bank and that EVERYBODY should KNOW who they are since they think they are celebrities
4. Are scammers
5. Live in a world where identity theft, fraud doesn't exist

Same here. I have my ID in my hand just in case. It's no big deal for me. Actually I prefer if they do check my ID. I've got nothing to hide and it gives me peace of mind.

[Raieth]

I love at my gas station that I'm allowed to just refuse to serve someone if they don't have id for cigs.

[blas]

Everyone has that right....it's just that with that right to refuse service comes bitching, moaning, whining and complaining.

[aurelemsrealm]

I love my company for that reason, too. If someone refuses to show ID, I can refuse the sale. Management will stand behind the clerk's decision. If a customer decides to be an ass for any reason, they are told to leave or be escorted off the premesis by police. The only thing they get for threatening to take their business elsewhere because they don't get their way is a fond farewell.
