  Not sure. Probably because its so easy to walk in and just take money out i feel like im gonna get caught for something bad that I didnt actually do. It feels like it would be ridiculously easy to steal since you juat say your name and theye give you money

    I guess it's the same feeling of walking out of the grocery store without buying anything and I'd feel like I have to act normal so I won't get caught doing.... nothing in particular

    Are you well known to them?

    Do you give them your account number or a card or bankbook or a check?

    Or maybe you carry a gun?

    Do you struggle to shop in physical stores? Because this sounds like an anxiety symptom

    I’d they are letting you take money out of your account by only giving your name, you need to get a new bank. They need to be verifying your identity somehow.

      Sometime they ask for a driver license. But those are notoriously easy to fake

        Do you not have to insert/tap your card and enter a pin or something?

        How would they even know what account to take it out of otherwise?

        Sometimes? I wouldn't worry about your unease in walking out of your bank with your money, I'd worry about having your money in that bank where they apparently give money out to anyone.

    Except you also have to have your card/phone and know your pin. It’s actually one of the hardest places to steal from.

    I have an uncle who used to do security for a major department store. This was over 40 years ago. They had an issue where entire racks of clothes were going missing. One time it was even two complete pallets, not even unpacked yet, they were received and then just missing. After the investigation they discovered a guy had clothes that looked similar to their uniform walked in confidently, released the locks on the wheels of the rack, rolled it into the back, another guy pulled up in a van, they put the whole rack in the back and drive off. He kinda looked like he belonged so no one questioned him.

    The pallets, again same guy just walked into back room found a forklift, picked them up, loaded them into a rental truck and drove off.

    Stealing is easy, it’s not getting greedy and being able to not get caught is the issue.

        Really? When I go to the bank they have a card machine there, insert card, enter pin, teller does order and if it’s over $1000 require a state issue id also…

    Seems a bit too easy if that's all you're doing without any verification. If they're checking that you are who you say you are, then it's your money.
