I did once by accident,,,
At my Credit Union I once handed them my CWL by accident,,,
By the look on the tellers face you would have thought I placed a pile of feces on the counter.
She refused to touch it and said "We don't accept that for ID.",,,
It wasn't what she said that irked me but how she said it,,,
There was actual disdain in her voice and on her face.
I said, "Please get a manager out here."
The manager gave me the "Our policy is..." speech,,,
I gave her the "This is a state issued identification..." speech.
When she refused to accept it and said it's a driver's license or nothing,,,
I told her to cancel my savings and checking accounts "right now".
"Now Mr. Graham, this isn't at all necessary" she stated,,,
I replied with "I passed an extensive background investigation to get this permit.",,,
"I will not continue to do business where I am treated with overt disdain by a prissy teenaged teller.
The "real" manager came out then to see what the problem was,,,
He apologized to me and assured me that my CWL was acceptable ID.
I never raised my voice or cursed at the teller and faux manager,,,
And some people would say I over reacted to the snub,,,
But I felt I acted quite appropriately.
I still bank there as I have my mortgage through them,,,
I received a letter assuring me it wouldn't again.
