All Steve Valdez wanted to do was cash a check from his wife during his work break. Bank of America insisted that Mr. Valdez provide a thumbprint to verify his identity, which he was unable to do because he was born with no arms. Despite the bank teller acknowledging this, and Mr. Valdez providing two forms of photo identification, the bank still refused to cash his check.

That's why the mark of the beast
will be a mark on the hand OR the forehead. Not too many folks out there w/o foreheads, but hands are more convenient.
I feel for him. I have beaurocracy-phobia and that would have set me off for the rest of the week.
Worse than pirates!
If your going to bank with the worst of the worst you should expect these kind of things. I've heard horror stories since 1974 concerning this bank.
I made the mistake of taking out a loan from them years ago after their huge, $500 guarantee, we are the easiest, advertising campaign. Far and away the hardest loan I ever did. And No, I never got my $500!

Obviously the teller thought he was attempting un-armed robbery.
Utterly ridiculous.
I'm surprised with all this insanity they didn't make him take off his shoe and give a toe print or something.
Good grief.
I haven't
heard of the thumbprint thing yet. Do they have to give us a thumbprint when we make a deposit? And just think they can just close the bank and you can't get your money. Not very balanced.

maybe they thought he was
maybe they thought he was the guy who killed harrison ford's wife...?
Best solution
have the wife pullout the money and change banks. It's a pain in the ass sometimes but if you believe in something you should bear the burden. BOA took a bailout too, didn't they?
