What's the best lie that you have been told by a bank/teller
I've gotten all the usual ones like
The Feds require us to send the bags to them.
The Feds require us to send them the contents of the debris cup.
The Feds don't sell halves anymore.
The Feds melt all the halves down.
etc...
But here's one that is still baffling me.
I have a branch that I've been buying bags from their counter for quite some time. Recently they informed me that they cannot sell me the bags because they are having trouble staying under the cash limit on their vault. Their logic is that they can ship the bags out as soon as they are full to reduce the cash in the vault, but if they sell them to me, they can't ship the cash that I paid with out. I asked if it would be better if I paid in full even straps of $10's or $20's so they can ship those out and was told they cannot ship those out as they must use them in the ATM. They use this same argument when I asked about just buying the penny bags. Of course, I still see the armored car guy hauling off bags on my day to pickup halves, so it's obvious they are still saving them up and shipping them out once a week.
Now, the kicker. They still order 4 boxes of halves for me EVERY week AND I know they've started ordering halves for one other person too.
I talked to my sister who happens to be a teller supervisor (just not local to me) and they only thing she can think of is that they just don't want to mess with the bags anymore. But what throws that logic into question is the fact that they still happily order the halves and handle those.
I'm thoroughly convinced that they just have a bipolar disorder.
Anyway, to make it interesting, if you are going to post, include a lie that a teller has told you once. This should make for some good entertainment.
