<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 949391, member: 9167"]I don't think unfriendly bank tellers have anything to do with the customer's attitude, so much as it has to do with bank policy. I used to try to get rolls of change to look through at our only bank in town, which happens to be a multi-national bank I'll leave nameless. They would sometimes get me the rolls but act like it was a huge inconvenience for them. Later, after having met and gotten to know one of the managers, outside of banking business, I found out that their policy is not to hand out loads of change to customers unless they are buying for business purposes, as it ends up costing the bank money. Not only does the bank have to pay full face value for the coins it receives, it has to pay for armed transport of those coins, and storage fees and a whole slew of other fees. Banks are businesses and have to make money too. If the tellers seem less than receptive to your requests, instead of chalking it up to rudeness, do a little research into that bank's policies. It'll make life a little easier for both parties.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
