If she didnt have an account they may have a policy on opening one with a check larger than 10k. Whether or not the check was through that bank. Who knows.
What's setting off my bullshit radar is this
""They took my special moment away. I felt like a criminal," Mitchell-Stewart told
,. "In order to get Texas medical license or a medical license at all, you have to have a clean record. You have to go to school for so many years, and they just didn't care. They didn't respect that. They didn't respect my credentials.""
Yeah. So you get through medical school. All that hard work and accomplishment.....and your "specail moment" was depositing a check?
I'm thinking that this teller was probably rude and condescending. People who work at banks and at DMVs can be pricks.
If this was about race, getting another teller involved is just unessesary. There was probably something off about the check. All banks are picky and fussy about large checks....this is 16k. It's not 16 bucks.
We dont know what kind of conversation was had. This doctor does come off like she wanted preferential treatment because shes a doctor. And yeah....believe me, doctors can be major fucking assholes when it comes to something they want. They like things their way.
Shes mad that she got hassled over the check, made it a personal attack, and is claiming racism. I do not think race had anything to do with this.
IF we ever get the banks side of this, my opinion could change.
