Just some tips (had a gf who worked at a bank):
1) Always use a teller. If you are inside, right down his/her name on the receipt. This way if you have a problem you walk in and say my deposit was with Megan at this time and date.
2) Buy extra deposit slips from the place you buy your checks. Using the bank ones where you right in your account number can get messed up. They use computers and scanners for most of that stuff and it is easy to get deposited in the wrong account. Costs like $10 for a box of 1000.
3) Always write your account # on the back of your checks when endorsing if you don't have a stamp.
I think we all trust banks too much. The truth is that most people working there are $10/hour people who probably don't care too much about your money.
