[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 331553, member: 8247"]Unlike the cashier in a convenience store, grocery store, or walmart, there are dual controls on all tellers and what they have access to. A teller is responsible for their drawer. PERIOD. It is considered unprofessional for anyone else to go into their drawer. A tellers drawer stays with them and at most banks is locked in the vault when the teller is not working. There are procedures to access the drawer without the teller present, but most banks would not invoke such a procedure unless there were some extenuating circumstances. If a teller's drawer was short for some reason, it would show itself within a week (depending on how frequent a bank audits it's teller's drawers) and reflect upon the teller's ability to manage cash. Most of the banks I have visited, do not use the cash in/cash out tickets to swap cash between tellers (as they may do when I'm buying all the $2 bills in the bank). When I do see them doing it, it's usually because the tellers didn't receive cash in exchange for their $2's. Now if the OP was writing checks to buy the cash, then yes, every bank I know of does not permit a teller to process their own financial transactions. One caveat, what I have written above is a reflection of the many banks I have dealt with, but there are always new things to surprise me.[/QUOTE]
