FSB

I went to the bank (FSB – I know it sounds like the Russian successor to the KGB) to get something notarized. I have gone and had things notarized for over a decade now with no problems. That changed today. The same woman that notarized things for me in the past all of the sudden said she couldn’t because of “liability issues.” That is the dumbest excuse I have ever hear. What liability does a notary have to worry about? They are only there to say they checked your picture ID and witnessed you sign whatever form you sign in from of them. On the way out of the bank I saw what looked like an altar to sacrifice things on – it was very creepy. I guess there’s a reason that every time I went in to the bank over the past 10 years there was always more tellers than bankers.

I went to another bank in town (TD Bank) to try there. I had never been to this local TD branch before. The teller was not only very friendly, but also notarized the form for me. On top of that there was no charge (unlike FSB which always charged.) I was very impressed with this TD Bank and would gladly go back there – and not just to have something notarized.
