"Customers" are people who provide a profit to businesses which meet their needs. Note the emphasis.
Someone who comes in, maybe grabs a free cup of kaughy, perhaps uses the restroom, then takes the time of a teller to swap rolls of coins, and feels entitled even though he doesn't have an account isn't a "customer", he's a "nuisance". Then you have the nerve to say
Banks don't exist for the convenience/profit of coin collectors, and can't afford to cater to no-accounts because they may win the lottery some day and open an account.
At one point, a major US bank decided that you didn't even get to see a teller unless you had $20,000 in your account. Otherwise, use the ATM.
Would you like to search the bank's incoming change? How about making a split-the-profit deal? Lots of banks don't have customer coin machines, because they're an expensive service to provide. People are willing to pays Coinstar millions of dollars a year for that service.
Make yourself useful. Offer to buy silver from any tellers run across, or to help them identify odd stuff.
