<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 581750, member: 5233&quot;]I&#039;m sorry to say it, but your wrong (I say that with no intention of being rude).&nbsp; The definition of a customer is &quot;One that buys goods or services.&quot;&nbsp; The only people that receive services from a bank are the members of that bank.&nbsp; Some banks may have little bit more lenient policies...but the fact of the matter is if you are not a member at the bank you are not their customer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Why shouldn&#039;t a bank be able to refuse service?&nbsp; They are a private business just like anywhere else.&nbsp; The people who own, run, and work at private businesses have the same rights and freedoms as the people who patronize them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do I think banks are moral, no...I think banks are among the most corrupt institutions there are, but they have their rules.&nbsp; It&#039;s not just face value for face value remember.&nbsp; They have a machine that sorts the coins into bags usually at every branch, an armored truck picks up those bags, the bags go to a rolling facility and are rolled, armored picks them back up, takes them to a holding vault, and eventually they are taken back to a branch by an armored trucks.&nbsp; Each one of these steps costs the bank money.&nbsp; It is a free service they provide to their customers because the customers generate revenue to the bank.&nbsp; But, someone without an account is not providing revenue to the bank and as a result aren&#039;t necessarily entitled to the services the bank offers.&nbsp; It&#039;s true that the banks make more money than they lose (any business that survives does)...but you can&#039;t expect the same service if you aren&#039;t a member.&nbsp; It&#039;s just the way it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know I&#039;m not a graduate of law school and I didn&#039;t service in the military so I&#039;m terribly undisciplined...but I do understand why these banks have these rules.&nbsp; As a bank teller (or any other profession), sometimes its right to bend policies such as this to help others out and there is nothing wrong with that (it&#039;s not like it&#039;s a DUI).&nbsp; But, for the most part policies like this exist for a reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
