Bank of America asks armless man for thumbprint 2 months ago

http://consumerist.com/5350273/bank-of-america-asks-armless-man-for-thumbprint

A Florida man was unable to cash a Bank of America check because the bank required a thumbprint, and he had no arms.

WTSP has the story of Steve Valdez, who tried to cash a Bank of America check written by his wife to him. He took the check to a BoA branch, presented two forms of picture ID, and was prevented from cashing the check because he couldn’t provide a thumbprint. The manager refused to accommodate Valdez, suggesting that he open an account if he wanted to cash the check.

(do read some of the comments, too, if you appreciate a good pun)
