[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Years ago I took my 8 year old son into a bank to cash a 25.00 birthday check from his grandparents. I took him to the bank the check was written on because it was closer than my bank.

They refused to cash the check, insisting I go to my bank to cash it.(I had everything I needed to prove ID for both of us)

I am stubborn. It would have been no problem to get in the car and drive a few blocks to my bank, but that was not the point. The point was the bank was refusing to honor a check written by an account holder to my son.

They held their ground & I held mine.

The tipping point came 10 minutes later (the stubborn factor) when I raised my voice ever so slightly so those waiting in lie heard:

“Let me get this straight. You are refusing to cash my eight year old son's $25.00 birthday check written to him by his grandparents even though the account is with your bank? “

“Well Ma’am, we will do it this one time.”

That exact same thing happened to me (minus the child). Genuinely angry, and without using it as a ploy, I raised my voice and said, “So a check from an account at this bank is not worth the paper it’s written on?”

A minute or two later, I walked out with my cash.
