<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EagleEyed, post: 60531, member: 3261&quot;]I have been wanting to get some half dollar roles from the bank to search through.&nbsp; I drove around my area one day last week and stopped at about 8 different banks.&nbsp; Most of them had a few loose halves on hand, but none of them had any rolls.&nbsp; After the 3rd or 4th bank I started asking the tellers if they could order them for me.&nbsp; They all said, &quot;no, we can&#039;t do that.&quot;&nbsp; As a previous poster mentioned, some of the tellers acted very &#039;put out&#039; that I even request half dollar rolls.&nbsp; One girl even told me that the mint didn&#039;t make them any more, and she wasn&#039;t even sure if they still were used as money!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the last bank I went to, and believe me, I was in a mood by then, I went and sat down on the chairs where one sits to wait to speak to a manager-type.&nbsp; When I got to talk to one I asked her if she could order me some rolls of halves.&nbsp; She said, &quot;well, I do the ordering on Monday and Wednesday mornings, so if you let me know I could order a box for you, or however much you need.&nbsp; She didn&#039;t even ask if I had an account there.&nbsp; (I didn&#039;t)</p><p><br /></p><p>See, my problem was in asking the tellers.&nbsp; They just want to move you through the line and get on to the next customer...at least where I live.&nbsp; The managers, like in many stores, have more power to actually assist you with requests that may seem out of the norm.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I just need to convince my wife to let me take $500.00 out of the account for a box of halves.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
