Do your pickup banks order for you?

Do your pickup banks normally order boxes for you every week, or do you have to call them each week to place an order? I talked to my local Keybank and asked if they could just order every week, and they said I have to call every time I want to order.

I pick up once week. When I do, they just ask what I want next week and order it for me. Can't complain one bit. :thumbup:

All of the above. Just depends on the branch, not even the bank, the branch. Seems like each branch makes its own rules and policies. Not the ideal way to run a business IMO.

I also just tell them when I pick up what I want the following week. Works well.

Same thing next week, Chief?
Yep. Thanks!

Easy-peasy. :)

Thanks, I guess I just feel like I'm wasting all their time with my hobby, that I just enter and leave as quickly as possible. :?

Wasting their time? Most of my pickups tell me how slow they are and how much homework they have gotten done during the day. :lol: YMMV, of course.

When I show up, this older guy and an older lady from the cubicle area see me coming, and get ready. They both go into the vault to get the boxes, then he has to sign off on them, and she has to wait with the boxes while I load them up. Maybe every bank is different, but I'm the only one who I ever see tying up three employees at once.

Sometimes 2 or 3. I try to go during non-peak hours so they are not impacted as much. I also try to let them know when I will be coming and my well organized banks will go ahead and get them from the vault and have them sitting out on the counter waiting on me.
