<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 581514, member: 5233&quot;]Banks are private businesses just like everything else.&nbsp; They can cater to anyone or refuse service to anyone they choose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My hope was that if I was nice to them and helped them out a bit...maybe they would open an account.&nbsp; I liked being the friendly teller.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, tell me what is the right answer then.&nbsp; If you go into a bank and are denied rolled coins because you don&#039;t have an account it is wrong.&nbsp; But if you go into an account and the teller is nice enough to give you a couple rolls despite not having an account...it&#039;s still wrong.&nbsp; Maybe we coin collectors should stop visiting banks we don&#039;t have accounts at then.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t give me this &quot;rules don&#039;t apply stuff to them&quot; stuff.&nbsp; I took my job very seriously.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure you have never broken any rule in your life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me give you a real scenario which happened to me at the bank several times.&nbsp; Very rarely did I get someone to ask me for a roll to look through for their coin collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We would often get non-customers to come in and cash their checks.&nbsp; If their check was drawn off our bank we would cash it for them for a $5 fee (which I always thought was ridiculous).&nbsp; Now, most of the people who did this were poorer (the bank was in a more impoverished area) and they couldn&#039;t afford to have an account (likely because they owed someone money).&nbsp; They lost $5 every time they cashed a check as was bank policy.&nbsp; Sometimes one of them would ask for a roll of quarters for laundry...which was against bank policy to give them because they weren&#039;t account holders.&nbsp; What would you do in that case?&nbsp; Would you follow the minor rules to the letter and tell them no...or would you be nice and give them one roll.&nbsp; The vast majority of rolls I gave to non-customers were situations like this.&nbsp; I think I did the right thing...you may disagree, but don&#039;t talk to me like I&#039;m a criminal for helping people.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly, maybe that person would think the bank is nice and open up an account there.&nbsp; Now, I wouldn&#039;t give any if I was running short...but if I had a little extra it didn&#039;t hurt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
