<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2970302, member: 5233&quot;]This is basically how it was at the bank where I worked 10 years ago.&nbsp; The manager allowed me to keep an eye out for interesting things for my collection.&nbsp; I just couldn&#039;t do it at the expense of customer service. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, being highly organized was an important aspect of the job.&nbsp; You deal with a fair amount of money and the more organized you are the lesser the chances you will make a mistake and not balance.&nbsp; So, as I kept things organized and counted...I trained myself to scan for interesting things.&nbsp; Most often, it was star notes.&nbsp; But, if an interesting coin came my way...I would set it aside.&nbsp; I had a spot in my drawer reserved for such things...that way they were stored out of the sight of the customer.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, customer service was really important.&nbsp; I would not have withheld the silver quarter that that OP is talking about if I had it in plain sight.&nbsp; I feel that it is a very minor &quot;loss&quot; to risk having someone complain about.&nbsp; I&#039;d hate to have had my manager receive a complaint about me over something so small.&nbsp; It just wouldn&#039;t have been worth it to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, here is a better example of this sort of thing that goes outside of the collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>I worked at a US Bank branch in Springfield, Oregon about 10 years ago.&nbsp; It was a small branch in a small town.&nbsp; We didn&#039;t see THAT much customer flow and thus were not a bank that had a ton of cash on hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seemed like we were always short on large bills...$50s but especially $100s.&nbsp; There would be days when we&#039;d have less than $5000 in $100 bills in the whole branch and our order wouldn&#039;t come in for several days.&nbsp; We would depend on $100s coming in to keep our supply.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a customer wanted to come in and cash a $3000 check...I often couldn&#039;t give them all $100s.&nbsp; Even if I had them...I&#039;d ration them because I might not get more for days and I couldn&#039;t blow them all at once. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d hear comments like &quot;I thought this was a bank&quot; when I told them I was out of $100s.&nbsp; Sometimes they just didn&#039;t get it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
