I really like one of my dump banks. Actually, most of the banks around town I have students that I taught over the years. In fact, I was dumping one afternoon a few weeks back and I received a call on my radio telling me to head back to school because there was an issue on one of the buses. I am standing there with half of my coins ready to dump in the coin machine--which meant I had to haul about 5 boxes back to the car. Just so happens that it was one of my former students helping me at the machine and she said she would finish for me. That afternoon, I brought her one of those fancy-smancy cupcakes and picked up my funds.
Last week, the same student along with a new teller (who was old enough to know better 60+) began to ask questions about my coins as the two were pulling bags off the counter. The first words out of her mouth was not hello, my name is so-and-so and it is nice to meet you, but do you "look for silver?" She kept on and on. I counted at least 8 questions and did not answer a single one. I tried to be busy and focus on what I was doing, but I had finally had enough and said, "I think it is highly inappropriate to discuss my finances with anyone other than my financial officer." "Do you ask these questions to everyone who deposits, say, 100 1$ bills?" "Do you ask those customers where in the world do they obtain all those dollar bills?" "How I obtain my money is my business and not up for casual conversation."
My former student did everything she could not to burst out laughing. That teller had gotten on this ol' gals "last nerve."
Well, perhaps I did lose it.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
