Comments on: The Absurdity of Banks http://www.lynettesnell.com/2009/04/29/the-absurdity-of-banks/ Dogs are our link to paradise. They do not know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace. --Milan Kundera Sun, 01 May 2011 02:10:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: JR Boyens http://www.lynettesnell.com/2009/04/29/the-absurdity-of-banks/comment-page-1/#comment-1410 JR Boyens Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:27:30 +0000 http://www.lynettesnell.com/2009/04/29/the-absurdity-of-banks/#comment-1410 Happens to me all the time. Got something notorized and bought two money orders the other day. First question: "Are you an account holder?" from the notory. Finished that and got in line to get my money orders. First question? "Are you an account holder?" Both times they had to verify my status and BALANCE (!) via my social security number. I despise banks. I could go on with stories like this for days.

They will probably charge to count it and don't even think of rolling it ahead of time. Suggestion....it is easier to get change at a grocery store service desk. Support your LOCAL community banks...you know, the ones that were to small to need TARP funds.
