Cherrypicking Teller

[quiksilver]

I spend 5 hours on a bank run and only get 4 40%ers [still checking the dimes]. The one bank that i see some 90%ers the teller starts to cherry pick while i am trying to buy them. No i dont have a problem with tellers collecting just with a teller who is getting paid to their job not cherrypick on the customers time. Waiting to cherrypick when a customer is asking for the halves is unprofesional.

It happens. Best not to raise a stink, can't say that I never have! ffd

Let her cherrypick your dumps next time. Get some old crusty hand-roll wrappers. Label your dumps, '64, 65-69, etc. Watch her salivate as you pass across the dumps.

I agree, if tellers want to take for themselves when the coins first come in that is fine.

But to take them after you come in and ask for halves, while you are sitting there watching, seems wrong. I would almost venture to say at that point it might be worth complaining to the manager, and I normally wouldn't recommend that.

I would be going ape shit as you said it is very unprofessional, I would just cross that bank off my list, so many banks around

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

That would make me very unhappy!

This would get me a tad upset, too. It is highly unprofessional. Geez! At least you have the where-with-all not to complain. Not sure I would bite my tongue! But, I would.

i vote for the idea of intentionally mis-labelling your rolls as you dump them on her
it'd be a choice reaction to see

You know... You could just cherry pick the ones she just handed you and then at that point refuse them except this 1 and say thanks for nothing but I'll take this 1, and react as if you had just found the holy grail, maybe do a little happy dance, and say it's an error coin worth a thousand bucks.

Hows that for turning the tables. Should put her in her place. What do you got to lose?

Just a thought.

that's even better

I like Mojo's idea best. Especially the dance. If the teller has time in front of the customer to cherrypick, the customer should be afforded the same courtesy (lol).

do the reverse mind melt -- error coin -- fake out -- when they sit and "cherry pick" in front of you , its a "power trip" --see I can screw you by taking out the "valuible silver" right in front of you --and theres nothing you can do about it , nanny nanny bo bo * --to them the thought of giving away a big money high value coin would be crushing . --- so reject all but the one -- but then yell YES -- big bucks ~~~ a ---------------error coin --been looking for this one for years !!! (look up one ahead of time that if they look it up would be worth a bunch --say its that one ) -- mind freak em.

i have had this happen and immediately ask for the bank mananger (NOT the teller manager, because they are usually in on it). then i ask the manager if they have any polices in place that specifically allow their tellers to determine what coins customers get and what coins THEY can keep. i have working in the banking industry for 20+ years and it's pretty easy to call the cherrypickers out and get what you want. i only do this when i am on road trips and am certain i won't be back any time soon. i do not do this at my regular banks where i get my boxes - these are the ones i bring donuts to and the ones who are watching out for me

I had the same problem with a teller the next week i came in with 100 dollars in halves and turned them into another teller i had marked the rolls 64 as i was leaving i heard the other teller say what did he turn in she walked over a said ill take all of them i had a big smile all the way to my car.

THAT's how ya do it!!!!!

I find that all things being equal, dump banks are harder to find than supply banks. I think you should go buy a hand cart and load them up. That little incident you had should ease any guilt you have about dropping 5k in halves on a bank.
