Bank of America should change their trademarked tagline from "Bank of Opportunity" to "Morons Work Here".

It has come to our attention that Bank of America, in addition to having greed fueled, never care management that helped screw up the American economy, also employs morons as tellers and bank managers.

Steve Valdez, who is manager of quality assurance and customer satisfaction for Hillsborough County’s (Tampa FL) Public Works department, has two prosthetic arms.

Bank of America, 101 E. Kennedy Blvd, Tampa refused to cash a check for the armless man because he could not provide a thumbprint.

“They looked at my prosthetic hands and the teller said, ‘Well, obviously you can’t give us a thumbprint’,” Steve Valdez told CNN on Wednesday.

But he said the Bank of America Corp branch still insisted on a thumbprint identification for him to cash a check drawn on his wife’s account at the bank, even though he showed them two photo IDs.

In the incident last week, a bank supervisor told Valdez he could only cash the check without a thumbprint if he brought his wife in with him or he opened an account with them.

“I told them I neither wanted an account with them and couldn’t bring my wife in because she was nowhere close by,” Valdez told CNN.

Bank of America said in a statement cited by CNN: “While the thumbprint is a requirement for those who don’t have accounts, the bank should have made accommodations.”

Duh. No kidding morons!

Steve should give them the prosthetic middle finger and Bank of America should change their trademarked tagline from “Bank of Opportunity” to “Morons Work Here”.
