Before I came to Vancouver, I went into a Wells Fargo branch in Seattle (Wells Fargo has been my family's bank for decades) to get some of my money changed into Canadian dollars.
Even as a bank member, I got a grumpy attitude, slow service, and I had to fill out two different forms and show my ID just to withdraw $140 (CDN) from my own checking account.
Contrast that my experience with at this particular TD branch: I walked in, and even though I was not even a member of the bank, nor even a citizen of their great socialist-Obamacare-having IslamoMarxist country, within less than a minute I was able to exchange $80 + change in US dollars for $80 (CDN). No paperwork, just a small receipt showing the exchange rate (the Canadian dollar is worth more than our own, my fellow Americans!) and some great interaction with the super-nice teller who asked me about my scarf and discussed my travel plans with me. Quick, painless, pleasant, and convenient (that's what she said).
And when I went into the same branch several days later to exchange for another $40 (CDN), I got the same quick service and great attitude from a different teller.
For shame, Wells Fargo! Thanks, TD! read more
