She's German, what would her trying to speak English with a blaccent sound like?

its weird cause she doesnt sound like any german ive ever heard speak english. tbh i thought she was english at first, doing some kind of "european" accent

clearly shes trying to do some kind of accent, but it doesnt sound like any recognizable accent to me. maybe that really is what a white german trying to sound black in english sounds like, i guess?

Sounds like you wrote a check for CASH instead of landlord's name or business. If not, the bank teller was supposed to ID the person cashing it to ensure they were the person for whom the check was written. If that's what happened and they didn't ID, lmao. The signature on the back doesn't matter too much besides the fact that it exists. You're lucky they didn't add a zero or two to the amount since the teller was just handing over money no questions asked.

There's also the chance that the person depositing the check used a phone app to take a photo of the check for deposit. If that's the case, lmao because now you're asking a bank's tech department to know what they are doing with photos of checks which means contract out their OCR stuff or write their own using OCR libs. Still, you can't catch 100% of fraud and the metrics the bank uses for success is not how much deposits work, but how much fraud you can stop.

Comedy option: your landlord is lying and trying to get you to double pay.

appeal to authority warning: I worked on the mobile check deposit team for this bank for the past 2 years before moving on to another team.

No it was to my landlord's name, and surprisingly they did not try to bilk us in the process. It took a couple months but the Fraud Investigation of our bank got our money back.

Excel or some bespoke system written by Tom in F# in the 90s is really holding everything together. And Tom is like 70 and not in good shape physically.



Many years ago I walked for Walmart corporate. Execl ran pretty much everything. Pretty much every financial system was is the process of being replaced because they were no longer supported by the developing company.

Replenishment for Bananas was managed by an excel macro and then later an alteryx job.

The “source of truth” for store numbers, addresses, and other info that fed our store master which fed literally every other system was an excel file sitting on one guys computer.

All our financial budgeting and forecasting in merchandising were excel files and macros. When we were in the process of replacing the above mentioned financial systems one year, the entire financial budgeting and planning for Walmart was done in excel because the old systems were no longer working and the new system wasn’t ready.

I have worked for 3 major retailers since I left Walmart. Walmart was cutting edge by comparison. I do not understand how my current employer is even still in business.

ublock origin is the only one that hasn't and is open source so people can audit it. why people use any other adblocker is confounding

My previous job was all legacy Excel sheets (some made by me) and Google docs and every project manager had their own pet tracking system.

Now I work for the place where it's all a massive labyrinth of SQL databases with an elaborate web of access permissions and basically no one there even knows how half of it works any more

this is how I know that I am an optimist and that Finkelstein is a pessimist, whenever I have a conversation with the politically facile I always walk away with the same judgement: "this person would make an excellent stalinist"
