Maelle,
I don't know about Alan's banks, but in this area it happens. My wife is a
cashier in the Post Exchange (a military version of a K-Mart) and she was
telling me this actually happened just two days ago.
A wife was in cashing a check, my wife did her normal routine of accessing
the system to make sure this person wasn't on the 'bad check list,' and at
the same time, outside the PX, her husband was at the ATM withdrawing cash
from the same account. They didn't have overdraft protection (everyone
should if it's available at your financial institution), and the wife's
check ended up bouncing for lack of funds.
