I Called In Sick Today

I think that means the joke's on shake.

Yikes. It must be so hard not to constantly remind the client that he/she is a horrible human being that deserves to rot in prison for as long as possible.

Yeah, pretty much. She knew, well she participated in getting him there but she didn't know they were going to actually murder him, and the crux of the issue comes down to that I suppose. It's kind of like between getting 20 years or life without parole. The people that murdered the guy (for $20) originally said she didn't know or participated, but to get a deal in their plea agreements they had to agree to say she did and changed their stories. So it will come down to how much the jury hates her I guess.

Good luck?

Ha, someone's gotta do it I guess. Probably more interesting than what Cane is working on. And he's been in the paper pretty regular lately so I guess that's good for business. #brightsideoflifeMy daughter actually worked with her mom for a few years and is apparently a really sweet lady. Kids don't always turn out like you expect I suppose. But that's how he got the case. I might head down for closing arguements in a bit.

guy came in the other day with $1500+ in checks he wanted to cash. both managers were out of the bank. his endorsing signature was trash and his stuff scanned on file was also unreadable. I ask him for ID, he gets all red in the face and starts naming people at the bank (at other branches) I could ask about him. it's coming back to me, I remember waiting on this guy before, he is who he says he is, etc. I verify using some other account details and cash it for him, off he goes to do some retarded redneck farmer shit.yesterday he comes in and starts complaining to the branch manager about me. like, literally, butthurt as shit over being asked for his ID on a $1500 transaction. I. don't. get. it.

[speedz99 145]

Your manager is an idiot for not backing you up.

[Dread Aidan 8]

I. don't. get. it.

I'm not sure you fully appreciate the inconvenience you cause him by asking for his ID. When the news trucks come, just don't comment.

[SBriand 4]

I have been using my bank for about 9 years. I went in last Thursday to deposit my paycheck and I requested $20 in cash. They asked to see my ID. I pulled it out of my pocket and placed in in front of the teller. She took it, looked at it, handed it back and thanked me. I replied, "no problem". She handed me my deposit receipt and a $20 bill and wished me a good day. I wished her the same and exited. At no point was I ever inconvenienced. I hope that ahole gets trampled by some steer.

[LongLiveYorke 38]

Yeah, but some people keep their id's behind one of those plastic covers in a wallet. And those are a PAIN to take out and then put back in. Asking a customer for an ID is like putting on a condom before sex. It's just not the same; where's the love?

[speedz99 145]

In the condom, unless it gets spilled upon removal, which would be pretty gross.

[Dread Aidan 8]

lol

[vbnautilus 48]

he goes to do some retarded redneck farmer shit.

Maybe he picked up on what you thought of him.

You know what I enjoy*? The fact that most people's natural reaction to a gift recommendation, even if it's sooper specific, is to respond with what they would want if the gift was for them. She doesn't want ear buds. She doesn't want crappy pyramid scheme headphones. She doesn't want outdoor gear. I do appreciate the suggestions though, and I mean that.*I really do mean "enjoy". I find it funny.Edit: I don't like the tone of this post. I really do appreciate it, I'm just amused, especially by Randy's...particularly because of the admission of "well, myself".

Sorry, it just didn't seem like the headphone thing was working out and well, I was just moving on to the alternatives. Hell, just get her a Magic Bullet, who doesn't want one of those!

[Roll the Bones 74]

I go to my bank regularly and one girl has cashed probably 50 checks for me, and it has never dawned on me NOT to give my ID when trying to cash a check. In this day and age it just seems pretty standard practice. We do senseless things all the time because of rules and policies I suppose, but it's like a cashier not asking for ID when buying beer, it's just policy.Plus I assumed it helped them in some way process it quicker or something. If I don't have a deposit slip, I have my account number wrote down on a card that I put in the tube as well, so it saves time. I don't want to be there longer than necessary so why not make it as easy as possible?

[Roll the Bones 74]

haha, I thought you were smart. Plastic sleeves? Where did you get that wallet, K mart? I'm afraid to ask about your mattress.

Gotta disagree here. Strat's sober (I assume) at work, so it would be pretty tough to pretend to show him ID and dupe him. Plus I'm guessing there are lights on, he doesn't pass out, etc.

[strategy 4]

Your manager is an idiot for not backing you up.

he came over and agreed when I said, "it's $1500. I'm getting ID if I'm not sure." but it was obvious that he'd assured the customer I'd get spoken with. big borrower, don't want to ruffle feathers.

it's mostly men that have trouble with it, which leads me to believe it's a point of pride to be known, or something. "I've been with you for x years" is a line I have heard more than once.

Maybe he picked up on what you thought of him.

I'd be in a lot of trouble if I couldn't hide my disdain throughout the day.

I think most (all?) of the big banks require that you have an ID whenever cash is involved. my bank has fewer than 20k accounts and the large majority of transactions are the 'regulars'... it's possible to get through a shift without ever needing ID. I've been at this for like 3 months now, never once felt like someone was trying to pull something, never had anything disputed, etc. I could probably get away without ever checking IDs (other than the blacks).

[Roll the Bones 74]

I have stopped at a few different branches on occasion and rarely if ever go in and when I've gone to them if I forgot to put my ID in the drive-thru tube they always asked for which is pain and I would end up mad at myself for forgetting it. I guess I am just conditioned to include it. I know the one girl at my branch that's been there for a while because she has nice boobs and we always flirt so I doubt she would ask for ID but It's never occured to me not to add it. I guess I'll give it a whirl.Anyway, the guy sounds like an ass. If the ID was in a plastic sleeve and it's tough to get out, simply hand over the open wallet and show it. Did he really think you were trying to insult him? Next time he comes in get a huge smile and wave and yell "Hi Mr.whatever his name is", while waving your hand in the air frantically".

Not again, Beans....

I've never understood people being upset when they're carded for banking or credit card transactions. I WANT people to card me for stuff like that instead of just taking my money no questions asked. you should steal that guys identity strat; that'll teach that cock gobbling fagbot.went to a country music concert last night. it was stupid. now I'm all hungover and tired and I'm probably not even going to go out tonight, even though it's one of the best nights of the year to go out. fuck it. I don't have a life anyways; no sense in rubbing it in my own face.pre-post edit: gonna go eat some soup now.

[ShakeZuma 585]

slow news day huh!so I don't have a halloween costume, but if I were going to dress up (I'm not) I think I have a pretty good idea: just put on my suit then print out one of those "1%" biker patches and put it on the lapel.

[Napa_Don 688]

Shockingly, I get carded a lot. I've learned to accept it except when people say "oh you'll appreciate looking young when you're older", than I get annoyed. Or when I get carded to buy a 5-Hour energy or something. Then I get snarky. (Yes, apparently you have to be 18+ to buy those and some places actually check)

yeah I mean, wouldn't it be unsettling if some teller you don't know is happily cashing a check on your account without checking ID or anything? that's what gets me. maybe my perspective is skewed because I know just how easily someone could walk in, fill out a counter check, and go to town on a known good account number.

[speedz99 145]

Apparently in Kentucky they don't teach 'em how to properly chomp on a stick when there's snow on the ground and fully lying down is too cold.

Today may be a picture day, at least until the Pats game, during which my buddy is bringing over his deep fryer. The menu (all fried, of course): mini beef wellingtons, steak and cheese calzones, mac & cheese, and samosas. Oh, right, but the pictures. Here's one of cats! It's what can happen in the five seconds it takes for me to turn around and fold a shirt. I think I'll try to find a few of my halloween costume, too. I dressed up in my three piece liesure suit and threw on a chicken mask. Seems pretty boring, right? Wrong. The key is to get really, really drunk, and do creepy things. I spent some of the evening dancing by myself in the corner of the room with the dance floor. I spent most of the rest of the evening in a side room that was empty except for the occasional group of people walking through, or stopping in for a break from the party. I just sat in an armchair in the corner of the room and waited. People loved it, and for some reason pretty much every girl requested a picture sitting in my lap. Oh, and I didn't speak...didn't want to ruin the image. Here's a closeup of me in my "waiting to creep people out" chair. Oh, and my girlfriend, who was dressed as Margot Tenenbaum, was instrumental in encouraging girls to sit in my lap for photos. I rewarded her by being kind of an ass once I was way too drunk, and puking in her bathroom at 3am.Also, I apparently posted for pictures like this.

[speedz99 145]

Pats game doesn't start for quite a while. I see my possible activities as follows:-Keep talking to myself in this thread.-Study.-Lie on the couch and watch football.-Some combination of the previous three options.Hm. Oh, I know, I'll keep trying to come up with birthday present ideas. I've only got a little over a week left.

[Napa_Don 688]

I wasn't planning on going out last night, but for some reason I joked I would go as my roommate, but then as I put it together it turned out pretty OK and I decided to meet up with my old roommate and her friends since they had invited me out for somebodys birthday and they all thought it was hilarious and even though I got a few "wtf are you supposed to be", most thought it was pretty good once I explained the joke to them, or they were just being nice. The party was at a bar that had a part of the street blocked off for some shitty bands, but it was $15 all you can drink draft, which worked out great for my "lousiville chugger" as I tipped the bartender to just fill that up for me all night, so that was sweet. Overall fun night though.
