I mostly have favorable things to say about my current bank: Arvest. Good luck working with your bank and not throttling someone in the process. Crying in frustration is totally acceptable, but it's best left for the car unless you need to get a manager. Hey, desperate times... But really, I hope it works out.

Sexism? What the hell was that?

One more, here. I started an account with them when I was 18. They lost $75 of my money. This was when I was faithfully filling out my little bank card and found out that didn't matter a whit (bank card? yes, i'm that old ;) We have had a credit union now for <em>years</em>. When they stop payment on a $5 charge because they weren't sure it was legit, that tells you there are people personally looking out for our money. Do you still have family in CA? Are any of them working or even slightly related to the education system? You might be able to get a membership with Schools First federal credit union. We still bank there. There's the slight inconvenience of having to run to a local credit union to deposit checks but it can be done and it's very much worth it. Hubby's paychecks just get direct deposited.

They've been awful for years and have obviously only gotten worse. Do you have Compass in your area? I switched about ten years ago and haven't had any problems. Wishing you all the best!

Here is the solution though you may not like it. Take dork lord with you to the bank. He provides his driver's license to them with the wedding check signed by both of you. You'll scan your debit card, show your license, and the teller can process the check into your account as normal. Should be the same routine on his paycheck. Good luck!!
