A couple of weeks ago I went to dump at one of my banks near the Rhode Island border. After dumping, I figured I'd hit a few banks in this out of the way location.
Using my GPS I found a BOA which looked like an abandoned factory building. I actually thought the building was abandoned. There is only 2 tellers in this bank and no customers. So I ask for halves and one of the tellers sells me 8 rolls. The other teller who is within earshot doesn't respond to my request, so I ask her if she has any halves. She says that she has $500.00 dollars worth. Sounds like a dump to me so I tell her to give me 5 rolls.As she is giving them to me I told her that I would have taken the whole five hundred but that I don't have anything to carry them in. She says that's okay because I'm save.... then she stops in mid sentence. I grab the coin and check it out in my car.
The eight rolls were all clad. The five rolls that the other teller gave me were all clad but the wrappers were dated as to the contents 1971-1973 etc.
So I'm in a rush because I've got a long trip home and I'm beat.
I start thinking to myself did I hear her correctly? Was she about to say she is saving those halves for somebody? What if the remaining rolls were marked 1964 ?
I do a u-turn and drive back to the bank. I grab a box out of the trunk and say to the teller I found myself a box and I'll take the remainder of the halves. She says that she can't sell them to me as they are for business customers.
With a smile I say " Great because I'm a business customer"! She says sorry they are for my regular business customers.So I tell her that as a business man I find it odd that BOA would provide half dollars to a business, and especially so in handrolls. She says that these are Fed rolls. So I say, Oh, you mean the ones that come in the purple wrappers? She replies yes, the ones with the purple wrappers.
I tell her have a nice day and leave.
I made two mistakes.
I should have taken the $500.00 right away,but then again she probably would not have sold them to me.
The second mistake I made was not telling her that Fed rolls are not rolled in purple wrappers you lying sack of sh...
Eating humble pie leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I would have preferred it if the teller had bluntly told me that she can't sell me the coins because they are silver and her husband collects them(that's happened plenty of times).That's okay with me. It's the lying I can't stand.
