I get odd looks too, like a look from head to toe to see if Iam less a human more of an extraterrestrial every time I ask To buy halves lol by the way I have never been able to get those from banks
Was a Home Depot not long ago. Needed an odd part for a faucet. I had the part number. Three Home Depot employees stood at the end of the isle talking and playing with phones while I hunted bins all the while looking at them with expectation in my eyes. After a while it became apparent their social gathering was not going to break to help me. I slowly walked over to them smiling. Finally one half heartedly asked me if I needed help. I said yes please. Where is the nearest Lowe’s store? If looks could have killed I would have been dead three times. I hope they learned something that morning.... And yes, Lowe’s did have the part.
I'm always bothered by the disinterested customer service people at various businesses. It amazes me they are able to keep their jobs. In my mind, if you don't want to help people, find a different job.
Probably very true. In some cases, I have seen their bosses behave similarly. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a red carpet, hot latte and scone, but a simple interest in understanding why I'm at the store and what I might need is all I ask.
Sound like you handled it really well Tommy. I would have probably asked Allison if she wanted to try her hand at coin roll hunting.
I might have but maybe you know the type, they are all that, high maintenance, perfect hair, make up and the type that always brags about their expensive vacations their boy friends pay for. Not my type of girl. Liz is just one of those really down to earth girls. I should ask her out, a little younger than me and a doll. (That's why she gets the candy).
Believe it when I say, the manager was there and about the same age. She is one of those , that after a few drinks, she is up on the bar dancing and pulling her blouse up. Egadds! I'm thinking of Willie Nelson's song "The Whole Worlds Going To Pot". LOL.
The biggest problem in the last couple of years is that my branch of the main bank has become a training bank branch. Every couple of weeks they rotate these youngsters in and out. The new ones even ask my SS# every time I make a deposit, drop off some rolled coins, ask for a money order. But NEVER the old girls.
I honestly have no clue. It only started with these rotating girls. Maybe I'll give them some chocolate with Ex-lax in it... Oh! Look! See Allison run...
I was going to say to tell the manager you need a tie breaker vote. Teller thinks you're weird, but you don't. Based on your description, however, I'd just bring in some cheap tequila next time I asked for a box of cents.
