but i can tell you as a former guy-who-listened-to-irate-customers, he's doing pretty good if what he heard from me was the worst thing he heard that day.

I guess you could advance an argument that getting yelled at by strangers is in the job description. But ... I'd rather treat the regular folk as people and save my wrath for those who really could effect some change. cn

Where I disagree is in dumping on some poor phone-support rep who probably isn't a direct bank employee. Hate the institution; be kind to its lower-to-mid-level employees. Jmo. cn

If you're part of the Leviathan, don't be upset when people shit on you. You chose it. It's the same reason I don't suck veteran cock. Without veterans, there'd be no interventionist wars. Innocent civilians wouldn't get raped and murdered when one of their killing machines goes berzerk claiming PTSD. I never blame common citizens. No one chooses where they're born. Sure you can go to another country, but you shouldn't have to just because of a few sick fucks in power.

I see nothing wrong. I don't care. As an employee of said fucked up business, you're an agent of said business. When I get screwed with, and I know I'm right, I'll say whatever it takes. I'm not quiting until the cops are called. So far no cops ever came. I once held up a line for 20 minutes at a Thrifty ice cream stand ( now Rite Aid ) because I gave my money in cash and they were out of change for a nickel. There was no sign saying exact change. Eventually a manager opened a register and gave me my nickel.

yea see no... i can say that and it would mean anything you are a part of, it is so vague it is meaningless.

So sam just because you're part of the Leviathan, don't be upset when people shit on you. You chose it.

Are you born into a customer rep position or Private Bumblefuck? I was sure you volunteer for those. If you're forced into something, such as communist like countries who choose your occupation or you're drafted, I feel for you. If you want sympathy cause you fucked up and chose it, GTFO. Just like I feel for those who are disabled.

i got my federal tax refund the other day and want to cash it. i closed out all my checking and savings accounts with banks last year, but still retain a few credit cards with them as i pay them down.

i just love calling my banks knowing the answer to this question:

me: hello, i am a customer of yours and have a have a tax refund check, can i cash it there?
bank: do you have a checking account?
me: no, just a credit card.
bank: sorry, we can't cash your check then.
me: so a check from the federal government is no good?
bank: not without a checking account.
me: that's not what you said last time they gave you a check.
bank: have a good day sir.
me: fuck you.

i just love how their voices drop at the end after i mention "the last time they gave you a check", it reminds me of a dog with its tail between its legs.

seriously, fuck these people. bunch of assholes. :-P

I didn't read every reply, but a few things.

#1 the bank cannot refuse to cash a check because you aren't a customer, the fact that you aren't a customer has NO BEARING on the check at all, the account HOLDER (US Govt) is the Customer who has an account with the bank. The Customer PAYS the Bank to honor its checks to whomever it wishes (You in this case). It is irrelevant whether or not you have an account as you aren't the cutomer, the US Gov't is the customer. You are just the person the US Gov't has instructed the bank to pay. Explain this to the Manager or supervisor and they may see things differently and cash your check if explained to them this way. This may not work if you are not at the bank the account is drawn on and those banks have every right to refuse service since it DOES cost them money to process the check.

#2. Doesn't your wife have a checking account? Sign the check over to her and have her cash it for you. make sure to call her bank and get the skinny on third party checks as some have special procedures. You can have her deposit your check by ATM also, that takes a priority over all other deposits and is picked up before the bank even opens and is processed before the lobby opens in most cases. Since it is priority they let 3rd party checks slide quite often if the writer (US Govt) is in good standing.

#3. on/off sale places frequently cash checks, you like to drink beer so a minimum purchase may be all that is needed.

#4 Have you tried getting a savings account at a Credit Union?

#5 Use the FREE tax software and have your return put onto a visa debit card that can be used anywhere visa goes.

If you really want to fuck the banks, pay off your Credit Cards and then never use one again.

Why do you make a distinction that government is a "Them" , isn't government really the people telling their representatives what to do? Or is government really like a separate entity that only does things to placate the masses?
