Saturday's Box and attitude from a teller
I went into one of my banks branches today and ask for a single box of pennies and the teller gets an upset look on her face. Now I'm used to the annoyed "Your going to make me ask one of the other tellers if they have a box or go to the vault" looks that they give, but this was different. She asks me if its for a business to which I tell her its not. Then she asks me if I'm going to just look through them, to which I tell her I am. She sighs and glares at me before finally getting me a box. Over the last 6 months or so I've probably looked through 30-35 boxes and gotten all of them at this bank and never received this reaction before. Is this pretty much par for the course and can they refuse to give me the pennies? I'm only looking through 1-2 boxes a week so its not as if I'm running them out of pennies. Also what are my options if a teller does tell me no? I'm sure I could ask to talk to a supervisor but I get pretty nervous and anxious in confrontational situations.
Oh well the results were pretty good. About 30% of the box was copper.

Wheats 11: 1936, 1940, 1948 S (2), 1950 D, 1952 D, 1953, 1956 D, 1957, 1957 D, 1958 D
Finally found a 1957. Couldn't believe that I hadn't found one yet considering the number of other wheats with lower mintages I'd found.
