It was a rough week at work.... I'm going to rant here for a bit, so feel free to click the X up there in the corner if you don't want to listen. I won't be hurt, really.
*******
We are cashing the Economic Stimulus checks, so the beginning of the week is just nuts. Here are a few pointers for anyone who wants to cash a check at my place of business.
*******
First, we will NOT cash a check that is dated for TOMORROW. (Come back TOMORROW and we will talk! We are not a bank, we don't do the whole after 2 o'clock it is tomorrow already. At my work it is TODAY, ALL DAY, until MIDNIGHT, then SURPRISE like magic your check can be cashed.)
*******
There is a limit to the amount we will cash. For most checks it is $1500. For some special checks it is $2999. If your check is over the amount for the kind of check, I cannot cash it. The register won't let it go through and there is no way for me to force it through. I know, it is all a great big conspiracy by me and my coworkers to keep you from your money. Really, yeah, okay, whatever.
*******
We also do not cash third party checks or hand written payroll checks. You CANNOT cross out the "pay to" line and write it to my store or anyone else.
*******
If your check is made out to you and your spouse you both need to be there to get your money. I cannot be given permission over the phone by whoever may be on the other end to just go ahead and cash it. NOT GONNA DO IT, DON'T CARE HOW LOUD YOU GET.
*******
Next up, there is this little thing called a VALID PHOTO ID. There are two important words there.... VALID & PHOTO. For the record, an ID that is in two or more pieces, is held together by duct tape or is expired is NOT VALID. Moving on to the PHOTO part... that means there has to be a picture of YOU on it. (The point I am getting at here is that there is NO PHOTO on your credit card, health insurance card, Social Security card, debit card, AARP card, Access card, Voter Registration card... Do I need to list more? I guess I do, because your school ID, work ID and your bus pass don't count either.) Oh, and see the paragraph above, if you are trying to cash a check made out to two people BOTH of you need to have a VALID PHOTO ID. ( I know silly me, not taking your word that the person next to you is your spouse.)
*******
So, just to clarify a bit, since I evidently don't speak English so well. I don't care if your check is from the First Bank of the Almighty and you have Jesus with you to attest that you are the person on the check, if you do not have proper ID or your check is dated for tomorrow or it is over the limit, I am not going to cash it. Do we understand each other?
*******
Here is something so much more pleasant! I am in love with this flavor of ice cream, Graham Central Station! Graham cracker flavored ice cream with graham swirl and chocolate covered sugar cone bits in it. YUMMMMMMY!!
Thankfully, I was able to calm myself with several scoops of this and I am feeling oh so much better right now.
*******
Take care, thanks for listening, and I promise my next post will be more pleasant and crafty!

A note that the Boy Scouts will be having the ice cream at their Heritage Days Booth. You will have to come and get some.
