Fifth Third Bank used to be excellent, and very customer oriented. I've been with them a while--at least a decade. Last week, I asked if I needed an appt to get vacation cash. No, they said, it's no problem to just come in for that amount, and they can fulfill it on the spot.
Today, I went in and the way the lady counted my cash was to keep her back to me, while she used the machine, standing completely in front of the cash counting machine, and then, hand me a wad of cash, all different denominations in the stack together, and offer me an envelope. When I said, "I was hoping you would separate it out for me, into denominations," (and count it, as they normally do), she handed me an envelope to put it in and looked annoyed.
I'm old enough to know you're supposed to allow the customer to view you placing it into the machine that counts the cash, offer to count it out in front of them by hand, and then, separate it into the denominations--not just hand them a wad of cash. I took my cash home. Of course, she made a mistake, and gave me $50.00's instead of the 20's that I requested. At least the total amount was accurate. I had no idea what I had, until I placed it out on my kitchen table.
Also, they no longer take coins, unless you have them rolled. Okay, 5th 3rd--what is the service that you're providing? read more
