got kicked out of a bank today

[norcalsteve]

Went in to a very small small town bank today. I asked the teller if she had any halves. She said that she did and pulled a hand full out of her drawer. I could see one was silver. She counted them out and it was $8.50. I paid for them and scooped them up when the manager called over to ask if I had an account. I told her no and she said that they could not exchange money with me. I told her that I would remember that for the future. She said that they could not sell me the halves I had. I told her that they already had and thank you very much. She asked me to give them back. I told her no. She told me to get out of her bank. I did with my 1965

She told you to get out of "HER" bank?

 

[fistfulladirt]

Burnt that bridge with a pocketful of silver!

 

[norcalsteve]

I am pretty sure she did not actually own the bank. But, that is what she said.
I don't think I will be going back to that bank. I thought it was pretty funny her getting so upset over a few coins.

 

[mountainman 2]

I know, just being a wise guy. Wouldn't be surprised if she collected the silver herself though.

The fact that she tried to take your money back, is what takes it really over the top. She must be trying to cull the silver herself, and you beat her to the punch. Sorry about her luck

don't understand, "you have to have an account with the bank".....i tried to cash in a can of coins and was told i needed to have an account, seems pretty rude.

Absolutely! How dare they not provide you with a service for free!

 

[norcalsteve]

I don't think she knew there was or cared that there was a silver half in there. It was just the rules are the rules.

Because that's why there are different banks and not one big government bank. They are in business for themselves , and if you're not one of their customers they don't have to provide you anything.

Exactly. And they have to do precisely jack squat for you if you're not a customer. It's called Capitalism, and it is becoming increasingly rare in this country.

It's becoming more rare and that's not a good thing!

Go back ask for the manager's name, Then contact corporate about what happened. These chain banks when you start throwing the C word around, they start shaking.

Why should they shake? He admitted to not being a customer. Let's call corporate and tell them the bank wouldn't do business with me because I don't do business with them. They have that right.

Smart cookie, eh? She saves face with her teller by demanding he do what he was already about to do anyway. What was he going to do, argue to stay? Crafty woman.

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

You blew your chance to get any more from there though. Was it worth it?

lol They should give the manager a promotion then for doing their job.

Not really. He just walks in and opens some minimal account.

How was I going to get more from there? I do not plan on opening an account there.

No minimal account there.
$500.00 monthly direct deposit or $1000.00 minimum daily balance.
