It was still bothering me, so I called the bank to mention that their tellers might need a little more training. I spoke with a Customer Service Rep, who told me that it's really up to the teller to decide if she should ask for ID or not.

I guess I look trustworthy. Maybe I should go into the "peaceful bankrobbing" industry, seems like the pay is good.

I had to run a few errands today, including a trip to the bank to pick up a Cashier's Check.

I didn't have a checkbook with me, so the teller filled out a blank check, and looked up the account number on her computer. She wrote the check to the bank, all I had to do was sign it (the blank, not the Cashier's Check). She handed the C.C. over, and I was done.

That was it. See a problem?

What if I wasn't really Seth Dillingham? I didn't know the bank teller, I don't think I've ever seen her before in my life, nor did I know any of the other tellers (there were only three of them)!

I had my wallet in my hand the whole time, ready to produce my "photo ID" when she asked for it, but she never did.

This really does make me very uncomfortable. Why would anybody bother robbing a bank and risk getting shot, when you can just tell them you're Seth Dillingham and get all the money from my account simply by asking for it!?
