"I'm sorry sir, but I will need both persons on the check present to cash this." Oh hell no! those rules may apply for 'jack-leg joe' off the street but not for me. I got no response...Despite the fact that both signatures are on the check and the check is for a miniscule amount compared to my financial relationship with BoA, you still won't cash it? I waited, still no response. So, I left this Cascade location and went over to the Ponce BoA. They cashed the check, no questions asked. First, understand that I have a very significant relationship with BoA (...yes, I keep my money in the bank....si, el banco). They hold most of my money, loans, and some investments. My problem is that the Cascade Branch consistently acts more like a combination check cashing/chicken wing joint. And unfortunately, this is the closest "chicken cashing" branch to me. So, what's the lesson here; well, you can put a decent bank in the 'hood, but is hard to keep the 'hood out the bank.
