Yesterday at the bank

So, you folks actually go into a bank a withdraw cash? Can't remember the last time I did that. Years and years ago.

But of course I'm perpetualy broke, so there is that...
 

I never withdraw large amounts of cash. If I needed to pay a large amount of cash I'd do it electronically. Ain't no way I'm walking around with thousands of dollars of my person or in my purse, having no desire to wind up a crime statistic. There are people out there who would burn their own grandmother alive for $23.50.

When I bought my car, I had my bank transfer the funds to the dealer's bank. Eversomuch safer, and I had an electronic record of the transaction with the dealer.
 
Well sometimes bank employees can give you a tip on saving some money on a transaction.

I think they are trained and in fact told to ask questions and push for more of their services.
 

Before I take my withdrawals from the ATM I first look around outside near the store for a vehicle parked near by with someone in it. Second, I scan the people near the ATM to see if someone is just standing near by doing nothing. I try to do them very early in the morning because thieves like to sleep late.;)
 
A few decades ago I decided to close my account at a bank that was in my neighborhood. I forgot why I wanted to close it but the girl asked me why was I closing it and I did tell her it was none of her business. I believe I said it nicely though. I know some people who wouldn't have been nice at all. LOL ;)

Now, now, now, you shouldn't talk that way to employees of a bank. She was only wondering.

My husband wanted to withdraw his money immediately from the Nazi bank
The teller told h no he could not. He was forced into direct deposited, where the bank uses youroney to invest. Why they have a warmer home than most and you can not go food shopping. Will be declined. As has happened to me every month. Because they take my money to invest yet in right years I find out she was taking money from my account as on $400.00 when I needed food from store near by. I had to put everything back. She the manager simply said to me, " You don't need it right away." I called above her head, next thing I knew, she was not in her office overlooking people's accounts all day to setup invests with your money. She disappeared not fired, transfered most likely. Every three months is it good to change banks to keep them from gaining over your pitiful income?! Shameful

never happened in my younger days - a sign of the times - but bad practice in my opinion and needs pointing out either to them or managers - talking about the weather ; appearance etc is one thing but not your money - that's private and personal - but this over friendly attitude is creeping into everything and US senior should make a stand

It's how they took over the people needed in hospitals, banks, schools, etc. To run a business off of people. Without us there would be no one to pay a paycheck to.

They started slow in the idea of it.
 
Just noticed this is an old thread that Autumn resurrected, but I will add to it, it's still interesting. My story could be the ''other side of the coin" scenario.

In 2014 I went to the bank with my daughter to withdraw $4000 in CASH for my granddaughter to buy a used car. The teller did ask me what it was for and I said for a car. I didn't get upset. She probably saw a younger woman with me and knowing about how people scam oldsters into giving them money, she wanted to ask in case I was in trouble. I'd like to think it was that anyway, she didn't ask any more questions.
 
I get treasurer's checks sometimes and I usually let the teller know what I need it for. I've found they get it for me faster that way.
 
Wow, I must be very fortunate. The young fellows who are my bank tellers are very nice. They are full of fun chit chat and never ask why or what I plan to do with any withdrawals. Personally, I like the chit chat, but perhaps that is because it's all about what's happening in town and never about my money.

Couple times I won $1,000 in lottery. Store fills out claim form then you have to take forms to a certain bank and they check some things then give you cash. Ugh! Happy for the money but I hurried to my bank so I could deposit. My aunt won $5,000 and same thing - cash! Not smart. They should offer choice of check or cash.

Of course if you win big (over $10,000) you have to go to regional lottery office - after you wake up from fainting. :ROFLMAO:
 
Well, my bank (Chase) must have well-trained tellers. After a probate settlement & a buyout for a property I owned half of, the teller only mentioned that this big a deposit (6 figures) would take 24 hours before the funds would be available. No nosey questions....maybe because he could see that the check came from an attorney's office?

Perhaps I am more dense than usual but this post makes no sense at all to me.

I can definitely see a pattern here, with the butterfly on the tennis racket in total agreement on bank issues not over your heads. Why do you choose to answer a post you have no idea of the inside screenings going on. Your bank obviously is notessing with your accounts. So back off and stop policingy posts of you have no experience with abuse as I have been dealt with. Of what I posted was not abuse then we're is this female bank manager? Why is there another person in her place after I went ABOVE HER head
 
Please do not respond to my posts. If you are not able to identify abuse from a bank employee, do not get involved. Only ones who understand my post. It's too simple for over educated butterflies and show off tennis players. Go play tennis with your butterfly. You guys have not been any help at all. Just sticky noses up in the air so high, the horses you came on are lost in space somewhere from here to Florida. Now, excuse me for not remembering that this is the real world of hard knocks. Thanks for the LACK of support. Yet of you two knuckleheads can't seem to understand, then who is the doctor here. Oh I see, you have been here a long time and can decide as online bullies do this sort of stuff to people that post for replies of they understand, and of they don't at first they HAVE THE CLASS TO ASK without their noses up each other's arse...please stay away fromy posts. Not meant for Silver Spooned too far removed from situtations you obviously never encountered
