I just picked up a box of halves from WF. The box was sealed and rolled in yellow paper. I started to search and noticed that someone had put a black mark on the ear of the coins.Upon searching I found that after 8 rolls there were only 19 coins in the rolls. I have opened 10 rolls and stopped. Will take the rest of the box[unopened rolls] back to the bank Monday.

Make sure you save the paper rolls you opened , they maybe able to determine if the rolls were short by them.

I have had some rolls in a box short one or two coins, but never all of the rolls. I have also received them, but didn't take them from the bank, where the box was short on rolls.

I had many boxes like that. Some rolls missed 1 or 2 coins; some rolls will have 21 coins; But averaging out on long term it is about even. The counting machine at the CWI for halves needs calibrated but no one rises up the issue. This also tells you that CRH at your area is hot even the counting machine is out of wack.
From my experience, if you return them to the bank and the bank will give back the difference. But later you may find that the bank won't order more boxes for you because that's way too much hassle for them: such as: remembering to place the order; taking up the space in the vault; moving the heavy boxes around by the ladies; now paying the difference caused by CWI. If I was the manager, I would not be happy doing that.

If you're a "real" customer at the bank, you probably have a pretty good chance of getting at least the unopened onces refunded.
If you're just "using" the bank to get boxes of halves, you may have just made a tuition payment to the Coin Roll Hunter's University. :)

I took the remaining rolls back to the bank and they took them back and paid me. I asked where they were rolled, was informed they came from El Paso vault.

Since this isn't a funny post, I'll skip my bankers bailout comment and say you will probably have no problem with getting the full amount in the end.
Maybe even a cash difference and be on your merry way with the rolls and a handfull of wrappers.
Let us know how it turns out.
LATE EDIT:
Oh sorry, I see they did give you full credit. Good for you!

I explained to the bank about the rolls being short. They had no comment.

Its kind of ironic, I just read this article on Thurday. I picked up two boxes of FED halves on Friday and had the same experience. Immediately, upon opening the box, I could tell some rolls were short and others over by scanning the height of the rolls. By my calculations, roughly 20 rolls per box were over/short. All in all, I was $5.50 short when finished counting. I have never had boxes where the rolls were so uneven before. The worst part is NO SILVER! Up until about two years ago, you could pretty much count on at least 20 or more silvers per box.
