I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to set up a string of supply banks. Aside from the quizzical looks from almost all the tellers, I have noticed this: EVERY bank has someone in on the game. Usually a manager, but even the tellers ask me if I am looking for the silver ones, with that "ahhh I know what YOU'RE up to" tone in their voice, despite my devastating charm and (I thought) rock solid cover story of being a mere collector of coinage obscura. They have shown me silver they're filtered out. They have denied me the precious boxes I seek with a sneer or a snarl. One went so far as to tell me she had $6.50 in her drawer, which I eagerly took, only to watch her count them and check the dates so as to NOT give me anything worthwhile!!! 
Now, I of course have to maintain my cover, as this MAY be a supply bank and I don't want to jeopardize the flow if they're willing to order boxes (so far I have found 2 supply banks that aren't asking me to be a customer. I may open $500. savings accounts at each to keep the relationship amicable) That said - we BOTH know why I am there, so even if we're going to maintain a civilized veneer, DON'T KICK ME IN THE NUTS BY CHERRYPICKING ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, KTHX? No offense, but you get paid to provide bank services, not skim money for yourself. If you do it when no one's around, fine - I would do exactly the same. But it's a bit insulting to do it on the counter in front of me on bank time.
/rant off
sry - just a bit frustrated - but my cycle of box orders begins tomorrow so I won't be so concerned with this - just wanted to vent something I'm sure you all feel the same about
