Great story. Was he still working at Wal-Mart?

I got the third degree at my own bank.

I was out of town for a few weeks recently and my checks had piled up. Some of them were big...so I walk into Washington Mutual as a 22 year old in a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals, and want to deposit the money.

The woman went over and talked to her supervisor. The supervisor came back and asked me if it was a business account, if it was for someone else, and then what kind of business it was. I said "what's it matter?" She just said "it matters". And I said internet advertising. She said "it's just that it's a lot of money."

They said that my account was new also and that was why they were asking. It was 5 months old and I had another account that was 3 years old.

My whole thing was acting like nothing was weird so they would think their behavior was strange, but I wish I had said something like "Why don't you check my account history before you offend me." I just wanted to deposit it, I wasn't even asking for a withdrawl. Kind of pissed me off.

But at the same time it was kind of fun I guess, cause how many 22 year olds can surprise the bank tellers like that? I guess I should appreciate the novelty. But I still wish I had gotten pissed, in a way.
