I was at my dump bank this week and the teller actually told me she was not very good at counting!

A teller once told me she had never seen or heard of a 50 cent piece

This thread has some potential.....

More than once I have overheard the tellers complaining how heavy a bag of halves is. This its after they have already picked up a bag or 2 of quarters. When I tell them both bags weigh the same they don't believe it. One told me the bag of halves was heavier because the coins are bigger.

Yeah, those are also the same type that don't know what a 50¢ piece is because they haven't
lived in Canada long enough to have seen one. :roll: I have also came across tellers that
didn't know what a 50¢ piece was, though they weren't quite that freshly arrived.

How did you straighten out the error? Did you have to get annother bank employees attention
so somebody could explain to her why you weren't accepting the box of coins?

yesterday:

New girl in training at my main pickup says, "wow, that sure is a lot of dimes!" with enthusiasm. I was requesting the vaults $200 in CWR.

I then asked about her pennies. She says, "how many of those do you want?"

The head teller training the gal steps up and says with a smile, "One trip or two?”
I say “just one”
Head teller, “ Give him $100. I don't want him hurting his back". :lol:

I love my head teller. New gal has now been broken in.

I asked for halves @ month ago and the teller told me it was my lucky day, there are all silver. I thought wow she doesn't know enough to keep them to herself or what. They were all clad halves, all 10 rolls.

That was funny, although perhaps accurate. 50% of a dollar.

In my area a half-quarter means something very different.

A teller told me she had one half dollar and $5.50 in pennies. I handed her six dollars. She asked me how I'd like my change back.

"Two twenties, a ten..."

I just pointed out the mistakes very slowly. It took a while but mistakes were fixed.

Makes me think I should apply for a job at a bank and really emphasize:

-I speak English, in fact I speak it really really well! ;)
-I can count and do basic arithmetic really really well!
-I have no problem hefting $100 in pennies! :lol:

Only problem is I'm too ugly to work in a bank, have the brains and the brawns but
not the looks. ;)
