my town's tellers are uncooperative

Hit the banks this morning after wal mart and garage sales. Out of the three drive thrus im my town, all of the tellers are very rude. They seem nice enough, they are just in an awfully big hurry to say no and send you on your way. I have to bite my tongue. One young girl was kind enough, after I turned on the persistence, to ask the other teller in the bank, who had 5.50 in halves, and a 1972 eisenhower that is in very poor shape. No silvers, but how would i know this if she didn't check for me. For some reason, people will do less than nothing, without being driven.
They say to get to know the tellers.
Who cares if you look stupid 10 times, and only one teller that you try to get friendly with saves you a funny looking 2 dollar bill. Any return is more than worth the effort of dealing with people that just, don't, get it.
There is a missing link in the chain of communication between servers, and servees. Just smile, and drive on.
Improvse, adapt, and overcome.
Have a nice day : )

It's much better to go in the bank - face to face.
Always ask the head teller if there are any in the vault.

I hadn't even thought to try the drive-thru silver service. =)

Pull-up...

"May I have your silver halves please."

"Of course, here you are sir."

"Thanks."

And you drive away...

I hope you had a good reason for not going into the bank and picking them up. Thats just mean to do to a teller! But at least they were nice enough to do it for you.

Re: my town's tellers are uncooperative

Well, one thing to keep in mind is that you should go inside always. You would have to anyway if they had a bunch of halves. There is a limit as to how much change to send through the pneumatic air containers. I have seen where someone pulled up, put their cash in, sent it away, only to see it not arrive at the teller window. The reason being, they had put a few rolls of change in the container and it got stuck!

I would think the tellers inside would be a bit more relaxed than the drive-thru tellers anyway.
