I go to the 1st available teller and I say "I'd like to cash this check. 2 forms of i.d., right?" She says "Yes, and your right thumbprint." I was like "haha..." wait, she's not laughing. I say, "what's that?" She opens this little, round inkpad on top of the counter and then points to the area on the check where she wants me to put my print. wow, she's serious. I do as I'm told. (side note: they don't even give you a wipe or anything to wipe your thumb)
What the heck is that about? When (and why) did this start happening? I mean, it's a seven dollar check!

Boy, have YOU led a sheltered life! Lots of places do it if you don't have an account. They've been doing it for years.
Really? Man, I guess it's been awhile since I've been inside a bank!
You're not alone, Di... I can't remember the last YEAR I was inside a bank! I actually laughed out loud at your post b/c I thought the lady was joking at first, too, when I read the first part! I'd have laughed at her myself before realizing she was serious.
I guess it's pretty cool, though, must cut down fraudulent banking somewhat, anyhow.
PS, loved the lyrics to that song you posted. Very true.
