Hey folks, I was out of my area earlier today and decided why not hit a few banks?
Here's the totals for a 3-mile streach of road with 6 banks on it,

Bank 1: denied, had no account.
Bank 2: denied, had no account(same bank as bank #1)
Bank 3: had no half dollars and could not spare any boxes of coin.
Bank 4: denied, had no account.
Bank 5: $30 in CWR halves, skunk.
Bank 6: no halves, but the teller told me she had an old foreign coin and i could buy it for $1... she hands me a 1925-p SILVER PEACE DOLLAR! my first ever real silver dollar in circulation... gotta love them clueless tellers, this is the find of the week for sure!

Yes, I've never really understood why banks deny simple things like selling CWRs and such to non-customers, I can understand something like cashing checks that aren't drawn on that bank, but shouldn't banks focus on providing great customer service -before- people are customers so they will choose that bank when they need a bank?

I mean, there's no possibility for loss in doing it and the worst you can do is gain a new customer.
i went to a credit union a couple of weeks ago and asked for half dollars. they denied me because i was not a member. so in the next town, i stopped at another branch of the same credit union. they didn't even ask if i was a member and sold me all the halves they had. go figure.

When I drop by a random bank searching for halves, I have started to ask for 3 or 4 dollars in cents. Kind of a warm up for halves. Today a teller asked if I was a customer. I said, "yes" then she rephrased and asked if I had an account. I said, "no". She said she could only sell coins to people with accounts. I just said, You mean this bank can not spare 3 dollars in cents?" :icon_scratch: and I then walked out.
