Beware the "floating" teller!

So I have 2 dump banks-- a main and a secondary, both free, one faster, etc.

Problem is both banks have a ton of local branches, so I'm tempted to do some drive-buy pickups at the more remote branches. Couldn't hurt, right? Wrong. I've run into the same teller at 3 different branches of my secondary dump bank- the main downtown office, another city branch, and an out-in-the-sticks small town branch. She told me yesterday, "I'm a floater."

Luckily, I was just in there to get wrappers, and didn't pick up from her. But if I were trying to buy coin, she'd be onto me, and I would have jeopardized my relationship with that bank.

I think the safe rule is to never pickup at a dump bank (vice-versa), INCLUDING BRANCHES!

Run into this, too! Only at my dump bank. I just tell her tha the machine is broke down a the other branch. That line is getting old. She says..."Again? It's never down when I work there!" The other line I give her is somebody was there with a HUGE amount of coin and I'm in a hurry!

Try better at running under the radar.

Couple weeks past I bought two boxes from the branch down the street, ran some errands, had lunch, then stopped at a branch eight miles away to pick up two more boxes...and there she was again! Try talking your way through that and not looking like penny hoarder :?

She works split shifts at different locations on an as-needed basis. Good thing she's cool, but she did want to know if I didn't have anything better to do.
:D
