Fortunately I never had my personal account at BOFA. Only my corporate account. Every Friday I used to pull up to the drive in window and cash a check for the weekend. I made it out to myself and then signed the check and then endorsed it on the back. The tellers always looked at the check with that deer in headlights look and then they would ask me if I had an account with their bank. It never failed. I always had to tell them it was my account.
Unfortunately BOFA has been nearly insolvent for about 5 years. One day the govt will finally let them go under like they should have a long time ago. Chase and Wells are not much better.
Banks are so strangely idiotic. I guess it rubbed off from their intimate contact with the gummint since basically forever.
BTW, I should explain that the bank mentioned in my story was not the B of A.
My mortgage is with WF. I just hope they hold it together long enough for it to be paid off, just for the paperwork hassle that them going belly-up would cause on that front. I just have a few years to go.
