Last week I made a dump and deposit of Ike's + $500 cash at my regular bank I was talking so much that I distracted myself and the teller. As I headed out the door I decided to see what funds I had left for the next day's pickup. After checking the contents of my wallet I realised that I was $100 short so I went back to her window and questioned weather I had given her $500 or $600 she said she thought I gave her $500 and I said I'm coming up $100 short. She said I'd have to wait till she balanced her Drawer and said if she was over she'd give me a call. An hour later she called me and indeed was a $100 over and deposited in my account. Wow amazing.
I do so much volume these day's that I've become rather complacent and toss money around like it was nothing but $100 really would hurt.
Next day I'm out searching again and my last stop of the day I stoped at a frequent stop and the young man had what he said was $140 in Ike's $40 in halves and some guy never picked up his box of new Presidency cents and asked if I wanted them?....... Boy do I!...... He returns from the vault and counts out the total and asked me for $205 which I promptly handed over and grabbed the printer box he placed all of the coins in and I scurried out the bank without even looking at them. I was worried that the penny guy would show up so I made a beeline for the door.
I was racing home to meet the kids and never looked at the contents till later that night and to my suprise there were not $140 dollars worth of Ike's but 14 rolls @ $20 a roll, he made a $140 error. Well I had simply walked in and he has no clue as to who I am or what my account # would be so I tell my wife and she says keep it. I was a little surprised and told her no way and that I am going back and pay him, don't want to mess up the good Karma I had been stocking up on. Iwas also worried that he would get fired.
I returned the next morning and he was there and Boy was he glad to see me and I asked him if there was an issue with his audit last night and he sheepishly said yes. I asked how much and he said $140 so I pulled out $140 and gave it to him, he called over his manager and they both thanked me for my honesty and another teller calls me over and said he had something for me and produced a 40%'r and sold it to me and said he would keep an eye out for me from now on.
I'm hoping this maneuver pays dividends. Buy the way there wee 4 proof Ike's in that batch including a 73 Woo hoo!
