Our local bank has changed it's name 3 times since I started with them back in the 1900s. I live in a small town and go to the bank enough that some of the folks there know me.
I tried to cash a check a while back. The lady asked for ID. I showed her my DL. She asked for another form of ID. I showed her a CC. She asked for a third ID. I asked her if she had my account on her screen? She said she did. I told her to find whoever she need to find and get every penny in that account and put it in a sack and give it to me now!
Well, you never saw such steppin and fetchen and going in and out of offices in all your life. Soon a young VP" name tag man" came to me and asked what was wrong and could he make things right without me leaving with my money in a sack? I told him what had happened whereupon he started telling me it was for my protection BUT if I would not leave with money in a sack, he would promise me it would never happen again. Now when I go in I get big smiles and Good Mornings. I'm certain that there are also some "That old ***" muttered too. I don't care, my problem was solved. I don't go to banks to make friends, I go to conduct business and expect to be treated like I was 50 years ago. If that doesn't happen, put my stuff in a sack and I'm outta here.
