So I get off a bit early from work to go home and meet my son when he gets off the bus. Of course, since I'm off so early I drop by my main pick up bank to see what I can get from the partial bags. I'm waiting in line and my main competition walks in and gets into the commercial line (he is not a commercial customer/account holder). There is only one person in front of him and there are about three in front of me. He walks up to the counter when he sees that I will beat him to the tellers and the bags. And asks for the bag count (he got in the wrong line and then cut in line).
I walk out with a box of halves (skunk btw).
Part of me wants to go to war and turn this branch into a dump land, just to ruin his bag hunting.
The other part of me says they will get sick of his BO and his pushy antics eventually and then I'll have the place to myself. Also I really don't want to turn off the tellers to ALL CRH'ers, just this one. I always try to be very patient, friendly, and easygoing with the tellers. Oh, and I will bring them some nice treats tomorrow.
Just had to get this one off my chest. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Beat him to the punch. Come at an earlier time/day.

But that might wear out your welcome for both of you if you keep showing up frequently.

I'm assuming you can't talk with him?

I had a competition situation, I just learned to get there earlier and leave a few things I knew they liked.

Revenge will never allow the wake to become still

Creating an order for disorder, is not the route I choose to walk.

God speed, may peace find you soon

speak with the tellers and manager about possibly eliminating a CRH'er by turning your dumps on him, and once he stops coming, you will stop dumping on him... it would be a win-win for both you and the bank. It might sound a bit greedy on your end though.

He beat you to the bags. He used somewhat unscrupulous methods to do it, but regardless of the manner, he did. Any attempt at revenge could escalate into a CRH war of sorts which likely ends with the bank telling both of you to take a hike. You have a VERY RARE commodity in a bank that will not only sell bags off the counter, but partial bags as well. That's all but unheard of. I have been to hundreds and hundreds of different banks during my time in this hobby. I can easily count the times that a bank was willing to sell a partial bag on one hand. Personally, I wouldn't do anything in the least that could even remotely possibly disrupt that - even if that means my rude, smelly competition gets to eat a little too.

:coffee2: OK so he beat you this day. There're will be other days. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. He will eventually wear out his welcome there. Just be sure the tellers know that all crh aren't like him. Does this bank produce for you when you get a bag (partial or full)? You're very lucky to have a bank that will sell you partial bags let alone full bags. The banks in my area won't sell full bags let alone partial bags.

Keep the peace. He ain't dumpin heavy there either,yet. Learn from him. Better if it was a friendly rivalry but the bank should be the priority for both of you. If it matters any pizzin contest will be reflected on searchers down the road.

Wait for him in the parking lot with a baseball bat and take what he bought from him. Then dowse him with gasoline and set his body on fire. He won't cut in line any more!

Some great responses, seriously. I was pretty much over it as soon as I got in the car. Oh, and I'm NOT messing with Gollum, lol.
