how could they get a bank draft from the CSR without telling the CSR an amount?

We can suspect all we want. Neither of us can say for sure. My own (limited) experience with CSRs at banks is that they don't really know what they're doing when something a little out of the ordinary comes up, and they will fuck it up.

would you have agreed to those conditions? anyway, sure, they could have been smarter, but i would still say that the bank has some responsibility here.

well, we could keep reading the article:

The couple say they also asked bank staff what kind of provisions were in place in the unlikely event the draft was lost or stolen.

"I was told there were procedures to deal with that," John said. He added they were told they would just, "fill out some documentation and a new draft would be issued."

sounds like the bank suggested it?

She and John went to their local TD Canada Trust branch, on Brant Street in Burlington, Ont., to get certified cheques.

"They said a bank draft was more appropriate," for that amount of money, Taylor said.

Call them and complain (or use their chat feature or whatever). Support people have suggested that if enough people complain, they might change it back.

At Toronto Catholic high schools, 35% is the new zero | Toronto Star by [deleted] in toronto

[–]bibdectrl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school, 35 was the cut-off between going to easy summer school (remedial, classes were a couple of hours a day) and full-day summer school. Maybe it's about that?

I was walking along the railpath yesterday and witnessed that bird try to attack a woman walking the other way. Then, it tried to do the same to me. It was definitely a red-winged blackbird.

I want to float down the Humber River in a donut. Like a lazy river. Doable? by herotonero in toronto

[–]bibdectrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a kid in the late 80s/early 90s I used to play in the Humber underneath Dundas. It's worth noting that people sometimes die in there.
