I knew someone would pick up on my typo :-)
My county handbook specifically states that you cannot refuse a legal notarization even if you are at work (bank employee) unless the request is extreme (full loan set with 10 notarizations) or incovenient to your job (in a meeting, etc).
I travel to Cleveland, but prefer not to for general notarizations. That is why I always try to find other options that will be cheaper for these people whether it be a UPS store, Kinkos, or another notary. I tell them up front that I can charge $1.50 - $2.00 per seal but would have to charge a travel charge which could get up there considering the distance. I, like others, will not allow customers to come to my home due to liability issues - so there is always a travel fee. I finish my conversation with "If none of these options pan out, call me back. I just hate to see you pay for my travel when you can get it done much cheaper near you".
It just really steams me that this guy lives downtown Cleveland and can't get a general notarization done, yet there are 100's of signing agents within 10 miles of him.
