[QUOTE="NOS, post: 7411908, member: 2098"]This sounds very bizarre for you to have this great, long-standing relationship with the teller and seemingly all of the sudden she does a complete 180 on you. Were you trying to get coins as well? The way she responded, referring to businesses needing money for "change orders", and it costing the bank money to order, sounds like she was thinking more of coins than bills. Tellers offer to order bills for me fairly frequently without my even asking. I've actually not taken them up on the offer before because I just bounce from bank to bank, one branch to another around town until I find what I'm looking for on a given day or week. If you live in a small or rural town you may only have one or two banks around nearby; if this is the case you have to be careful about closing your account if there aren't many banks or branches nearby. What you can do is go back to the branch and make it a point to deal with and see another teller; I've done that when a favorite or preferred teller is in or there's one I don't jive with as well and would prefer to avoid seeing. Otherwise, what you can do is turn it around at this branch and make them into a dumping bank.
