I have gone out of my way to post a review, which I almost never do, because of how strange this was. I showed up today to cash checks (my employer banks here), and despite a long wait with no one else in line, I was patient. It took awhile to cash them but I get it, it happens.
Finally the money arrives and without counting I put it in my wallet. I stay there to send a few texts because as I said, there was no one else in line - and suddenly hear the teller talking over the speaker again, but she sounds annoyed, "ma'am, I need you to send that back. I gave you the wrong amount."
I checked it and sure enough, she was right. She gave me an extra hundred dollars. So I told her, "yep you were right I'm going to send back the $100!." she immediately changed her tone to even more annoyed, and says "No, I need you to send the whole amount." At this point I'm already late for work and know that if I argue with her it will take even more time, so I give up and send it back. She doesn't apologize or anything once I finally receive the money, as a matter fact her voice almost sounded more joyful whenever I explained how she was making me late.
As a service industry person myself, this was the weirdest and rudest banking experience I've ever had. As a teller, if you make a mistake like that, it's on you. Once you start treating the customer like a criminal (I must have used Jedi mind trick to get that money from her), you're the bad guy. Also, I've never had a bank teller do this in my life - that's a pretty big mistake to make.
Disappointed because aside from this instance they've always been great. I don't know why I got treated like I stole the money, but I'm still glad I complied and did as she asked even if she was totally impolite and out of line. read more
