Toes would work too, the computer doesn’t care...
This sounds like something the government would do.
This is what happens in a over-regulated industries...
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
I believe this would fall under the reasonable accommodation clause of the ADA where he should be provided with an alternative means (toe print, photo id copy, etc). I am curious the ‘rest of the story’, if he was offered such an accommodation and refused.
If he was a long-time member of that bank, I would think he knew their policy, otherwise, couldn’t he just go to a different bank?
I work in a bank. We obtain the right thumb print of a non-customer cashing an on-us check. If they don’t have a right thumb, we get their left thumb, if that’s not available, we choose any finger. I don’t think we’ve ever been faced with an armless person. I’ll have to see what our policy is regarding that....
Sounds like we have a dumb ass for a bank manager.
How assinine. The purpose of this program is positive identification of the person cashing the check. Having someone with no arms is a pretty positive identification if there is ever any question on who cashed the check. This is not an electronic system and really is more evidentiary than identification. I think it would be hard for a jury to believe that another person who looks like the suspect and had no arms cahed the check.
Some people just don’t have the sense they were born with.
