You know what I found really amusing. I went to get the license renewed and the lady behind the desk didn't bat an eye. She barely looked at it. Just long enough to say, "You're a little late aren't you?", punch in my D.L. number and put it away somewhere. She didn't ask for anything else, just took my picture. So, I had a harder time cashing an innocuous paycheck at the bank than I did replacing a driver's license, which, as I understand it, is
the most widely used form of identification, at the Revenue Office/DMV. Kind of makes me wonder....

I doubt it. I've done just fine these last 5-6 years without a bank (aside from this little flare up) and I'll do just fine in the future. I could maybe see the convenience of being able to pull money right from the account on line (debit card) rather than using a credit card, but right now it doesn't seem worth it.
Oh, by the way, that good's advice about introducing yourself. My grandfather shared it with me a long time ago. I always make it a point to get friendly with the staff and such when I pay my bills. I said this in another thread, but it bears repeating. People seem more eager to help me with my problem when they can attach a face to a name rather than a random number.
