Usually withdrawal slips are not used for such high amounts. You request to speak to the bank manager about the account and go to a private office.

I've worked with corporations in accounting and banks like WF/BOA actually have private business offices where they take high profile clients. These are unidentified SEPARATE facilities from the public walk-in-from-the-street banks that you see publicly identified. Unfortunately if you've never worked in the situation (as a low level financial peon sent to get cash) or come from a wealthy background, you wouldn't know about that either.

+1. I wouldn't have known this because of a non-wealthy background not to mention I try to never ever use cash (adhd with a bad history of losing cash and checks). And it's really infuriating when people judge others (especially minorities) for these "unwritten" rules.

THIS! +1000

I'm amazed that people can justify terrible actions like being arrested or getting beaten or killed by police by saying: "Oh the person should have know X and Y. Oh, they didn't fill the form correctly."

IDIOTS! You think it's fine to get arrested/beaten up/shot for a very minor misstep? Let's see how you feel when it happens to you!

And in this case the misstep's are with the bank teller, yet people are still blaming Coogler.

Why not? He's in the entertainment business.

The man is the Director for one of the largest grossing films in Marvel history. It absolutely deserves to be in entertainment.

He also directed Fruitville Station which won all kinds of awards and earned a 95% rating on rotten tomatoes. It's an incredible film based on the true story of Oscar Grant, a young Black man who was unjustly shot to death by police in San Francisco. And he directed the first Creed movie.

People who are not black have no business comparing their situation to his. He could have been shot/killed.

Agree, but even so, anyone can walk in and request to go to a private office. Even if you do not know the procedure. I'm just a regular nobody and I've done it a few times.

So, “if you do not know the procedure” how would you even know that such a procedure is even possible? In order to ask for something, it would help to know that it’s there.

The teller —or whoever she consulted — had his account information and had or could have asked for his ID. At any point, someone from the bank could have said that for a sizable withdrawal or for the privacy that he might prefer, a manager can handle this in an office. And they could have introduced him to the manager and taken him to that office.
It’s wild how so many people are working very hard to twist this so that it’s somehow Mr Coogler’s fault that multiple people who should have been working on Mr. Coogler’s behalf screwed up royally.

I think it's safe to assume she had his ID because she started the transaction. Which makes it even worse. And if she started the transaction without his ID that is also her screw-up. I want to know if she was fired.

I was thinking that. No teller does a withdrawal transaction without seeing an ID

My god, he must have been terrified. And humiliated. So many emotions.

You can even hear him say he's going to have a panic attack.

My husband was mistakenly detained (not arrested) for bank robbery in 2011 right here in MoCo. Our vehicle matched the getaway vehicle, including out of state license plates. Both the suspect and my spouse were Latinos.

It was a huge ordeal until it was straightened out.

You’re seeing the pattern here, right?

Oh hell no. That bank teller needs to be fired. This is inexcusable.

The teller is a pregnant black woman. Do you still want her to be fired? Isn’t the mistake she made - and it was a clunker - the exact sort of thing an affluent white bro would be given “another chance” for?

Oh F off. So you’re going fire a bank teller who makes $35,000 a year vs a big time movie producer because he couldn’t use words? Double F off!
