Sorry it wasn't meant to be an insult at all. I'm was trying to see where YOU were tying common sense to here.

Rules are rules. If you want something from someplace that has rules then you have to abide by them. Common sense does not prevail in those situations. One cannot live outside the "system" and then interact with it and it not work and then blame that it doesn't work for them. I spent many many years doing this in my own youth, shaking my fist at banking institutions, insurance, phone, cable, etc. because of "common sense".

You were trying to place your anger at the teller, not at your mistake of not having a valid ID. You chose to not spend $24 to not get your license renewed, which you chose to NOT do until as you said, had paycheck in hand. And now I'm sensing you are upset with me for not "supporting" your position. Your post on "Reality Check: Blank Check or Bounced Check." shows that you understand what my position is.

In fact, if your employer used your invalid ID as part of the identification process for work verification, then they are also breaking the law.
