I'm 6'1"... I wear a 13 foot multicolored scarf and Viet Nam era Air Force Issue Artic snow boots... as to hair and beard... think 4th season Star Trek: The Next Generation - WORF!
THEY KNOW ME
I went into one branch today and the head teller of that branch said "WHAT, no coins?" I was picking up not dropping off. For some reason I forgot my account number today, as I was struggling with it I said my name and she said I know your name but putting the account number in is easier
I saw a sign once that said "bring your dog in" and they do have dog biscuits, on the counter mostly for people to take home. So I have threatened to bring in my cat... once the weather gets better I will... he's 13+ pounds, long white hair and 3 foot long from paws to tail tip (when sitting like a Sphinx) while in town he rides on my shoulder and I heard one lady say once, under her breath, at the pet store, "That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!"
My dad was a local politician
and my mom is a wall flower
!
SO...I am an outgoing introvert that is completely shy and totally gregarious
... a very weird combo
.
My shy side is now saying I got too gregarious
To sum up YES get to know them, and making it formal is not needed. When the teller I was talking to went to the vault I started talking to the other tellers about the weather and other finds(they were not busy) ... I said the rain drain from the roof was blocked and pissing out water from the side INTO the path to get into the bank... she agreed that was a very accurate word when she saw it (She's the one that just got engaged... talk to them). We were supposed to get freezing rain but the 36 degree temp made it less frozen and more rain.
I had asked months ago what they do with Canadian and other foreign coins they get in rolls, they said they toss them in the GARBAGE!
So today I got:
West Side lanes Bowling token
20 cent from New Zeland
10 Kronur from Iceland
FREE! ! ! !
plus 2 boxes of pennies, a box of dimes and a box of nickels... AND $100 in quarters... and they always wish me LUCK

I'm lucky where I'm coworkers with tellers, but basically best friends. The manager, she's ehhh, lets just say she doesn't really care but she doesn't see the point. The tellers don't either but they think its neat when I find something old.
