Um, two tellers at the credit union? You have two? I must really live in a small town, we only have one and there isn't anywhere for her to go "to go get them". So, I go to the bank, that's where my credit union goes, too. :)

I went to open an account in a bank in the town my wife came from. They didn't have account numbers. Your last name was the account. If, for some reason there were two people with the same last name, the first name took over. They had no half dollars, no $2 bills, no bags of anything. Asking such questions did not effect the lines of people. There weren't any.

If you get checks, you have to have a numerical account number. I think just carl is having a little fun with us. I bet it was a blood bank. Or, maybe another type of family friendly discussion place?  |

No fun this time. Of course this was about 20 years ago or so. The town was about 200 population wise and that was when all the dogs were counted. No street lights, no cops, no traffic signals, etc. Main street was that bank, one tavern, one grain store, one small co-op, one grocery store. I think the same people worked in all of them. Nearest large, hugh town was about 18,000 and they did have traffic signals. My wife said when she was a kid all the kids got together to go to that town and watch the traffic signals.
The main purpose of that bank was just for that town.
I suspect most people here have always lived in a modern society invironment. I too came from a place where in house plumbing was just coming of age.
I'm really surprized at how many people don't know what life outside a city is like sometimes. Have you ever walked in cow pies in the Winter to keep your feet warm?

When I was a kid, 30 - 35 years ago, my credit union then only used names for accounts.
We also had party lines for the phone, where 3-4 homes would share a line and you had to wait for them to finish their talk, before you could call your friends.
I've done some interesting things with steaming cow pies.

WOW, this tread is bringing back memories. Party lines, ice trucks, cow pies and of course Al Capone. That was when I started collecting coins too. |

On the farm where I grew up I can remember the milk man walking right into the house unannounced and putting the milk in the refridgerator. Stuff like this was perfectly normal.

Where my wife came from when you walked in the main street you would notice the keys sticking out of all the car trunks. Found out that is so they don't get water in them and freeze. Where I live now you can't leave anything outside overnight or it's gone. AHHHHHH, the good old days. Your making me reminis. Now I am remembering when those Roosevelt dimes first came out and how mad we kids all were. |
