Corporations Aren't People

I had to cash a check. I was asked by the drawer to cash it at his bank for some unknown reason. I obliged. I entered the bank and everything was copacetic. The teller I approached was nice and fairly attractive. I was familiar with the bank. I had an account there for years before they changed their checking policies. I thought their new policies discriminated against poor people so I changed banks. I’m poor. It affected me. I’m happy with my new bank. It’s classy and there are no lines.

            Everything was going to plan. The transaction was being processed. Then, the teller started to play with her computer a little bit more then I wanted her to. She asked if I had an account with her bank. I told her that I had closed the account. She fiddled with her computer some more and finally said it would cost six bucks to cash the check. I thought to myself this is a multi-billion dollar bank and they're trying to chisel six bucks from me. Fat chance. If corporations are people, then they work for me.
