Yesterday I went to one of my pick up banks and a teller told me a merchant teller found a Franklin half.
I asked her if she would sell it to me and said that the merchant teller was at lunch and it was in her drawer.
I couldnt wait the 30 minutes and went back to work. But I did leave my name and phone #. This is a bank where the tellers know me very well and I have even brought them candy.
I couldnt make it back that day because I had to go pick up ordered halves at other banks (some of my pick up banks have small vaults and want me to get my halves ASAP)
So today I went in and had to wait in line at the merchant window. I had brought in some candy in the hopes the merchant teller was going to be selling me the Franklin.
Went I got up to her, I asked her if she had the Franklin and she said that she had just sold it to the guy before me
Luckily, I found a Franklin today in one of the boxes of halves I was going through but it was still hard to see one get away that I could have had at face.
