Why you little ungrateful.............

[Wildcard Ky]

Today was payday. I'm one of those people that still get a real check instead of direct deposit.

On Paydays, I take my check to the bank, deposit it, and get some cash back.

Today, I filled out my deposit slip, and was getting $125 back in cash. The teller gave me $150. I stood there with a confused look on my face, and looked over my deposit slip. All of the numbers were correct, except for the extra $25 she gave me.

I walked back up to the window and informed her that she had given me $25 too much. She disagreed saying that I had asked for $150. I showed her the paperwork showing the proper deposit, and that she was supposed to give me $125.

She literally grabs the money from my hand, takes the $25 back, and hands me $125. Then she says "Sorry about that".

I'm waiting for "Thanks, I would have gotten in trouble for being $25 short in my drawer", but it doesn't come.

So I left without saying anything else. I felt good in the fact that I had done the decent thing, but still a little pissed that she didn't even bother to say thanks.

Courtesy may not be dead, but it is on life support.

That's so true, it's really sad.

Try this one.

I had to stop payment on a check. It was just fifty bucks but I stopped it.

About a week later the bank calls me, it's the head teller. One of the tellers didn't look it up and paid the check to the customer I'd written it to. He wants to know if I'd give the ok for the check to be paid since if I don't the teller will have to pay.

Ok in a mindless fit of compassion I gave the ok since I could probably get my money back. I knew the guy I'd written the check to.

But get this, it just happened that posting that check against my account put me overdrawn by LESS than a dollar and the bank bounced another check that came in for the phone bill, charged me like $20.00 and so forth. this was a while ago. Not only that but also charged me the fee for stopping the check! Which by the way if they hadn't charged me for that, I wouldn't have been overdrawn in the first place.

It took three phone calls and a loud angry complaint made in the bank at a busy time to get the mess fixed to my satisfaction including a letter of apology to the company my check bounced on.

Twenty years later I'm still ticked off about it. I waited two weeks and closed all my accounts there.
