    So I decided to bake my first batch of cookies for my favorite tellers yesterday to give the wife a break from baking. They actually turned out pretty darned good IMHO, lol! Made the rounds today to drop them off. One very nice teller informed me my 2 box order of halves did not arrive today, no biggie. I thanked her anyway and dropped off a bag full of my cookies to share with her colleagues (including the Regional Manager, ;)). Finished my rounds & errands downtown and headed for home. She calls me on my cell to say, "Somebody just dropped off $8.50 in old halves, do you want them?" Of course I said, "Yes!" and whipped a U-ey to get there before she changed her mind! Here are the results and pictures:
    Barbers: 1902, 1907-D, 1908-D, 1915-D
    Walkers: 1918-S, 1920-S, 1935-D, 1936, 1941-D, 1942-S, 1946-D
    Franklins: 1949-D, 1950-D, 1951-S, 1954, 1956, 1958-D
    The teller said the customer had some old dollar coins but decided not to cash them in :stop:
    Turns out I needed the 1949-D, 1951-S, & 1956 for my Franklin album :cigar:. I don't even have a Walker album let alone a Barber album. May have to get them! Remember to nice to your tellers and Happy Hunting everyone!

    They got candy on the regular. Plus they got homemade thank you cards from my son. I know who the regional manager is. She used to be a branch manager who I had issues with a few years ago. That source has dried up completely unfortunately.

    If it’s any consolation FF, it seems like bank tellers and managers come and go like carnivals. Recently, I’ve seen some good ones go as well as the odd difficult one. Wait this one out and she might move on to greener pastures.
