Livid is not even an accurate description of my embarrassment and feelings.
I will get right to the details of the customer service.
The backstory is- after Covid I'm finally back to work and I deposited my check through the ATM on a Friday at this branch. Come Wednesday morning of the week after- 6days my check still has a hold on it. OK understandable for whatever personal reasons - that's my business. I also work directly across the street and have been for over a year. Ok .
Calling the one 800 number in the morning they told me that the branch manager was able to lift the hold on my check and I should go for an appointment to speak with that person. On my lunch break around 130 I walked to the location and followed directions on the door to request an appointment.
A seemingly polite Gentleman comes to the door with an iPad. Good grease three other customers. Then, In front of the three customers he asked me what I am there for ? Is it because I'm having trouble with the hold on my check. INAPPROPRIATE! Against the law. MIND YOU HE HAS the iPad- you know exactly why I'm there ... Absolutely insane, and it's inappropriate for you to speak to me about my account in front of other people.
I was still polite. The other people dispersed inside or left and I explained to him my situation. OUTSIDE infront of the bank. Messy ...
The gentleman goes inside and comes back out telling me the assistant branch manager refused to see me, and or a banker and then begins to explain to me reasons why she told him my check could possibly be on hold. OUTSIDE.
I recorded the entire conversation! It was Extremely inappropriate. I also shared this with my employers they were horrified.
I'm no Albert Einstein- but this came across as extremely rude and inappropriate. They briefly talked for maybe one minute about my account ( him amd who ever) and I was never even invited inside. I was waiting in the sun and talked to as if I didn't matter on a sidewalk outside my bank.
Not to mention we are in horrid times and my money Or my business may not be important to either of them but I was deeply hurt. And embarrassed.
This is a 2k check. At least say it to my face kindly, and let me know, sorry ms. Etc ect...
Will be closing my account IMMEDIATELY. read more
