I would suspect that any position in a bank could be anywhere from fun to a real horror story. It could really depend on the location of a bank. For example in some of the areas in a large city where crime runs rampant, a teller's job could be really stressfull always wondering if a customer is there to rob the place. Then too in a heavily populated area you get masses amounts of all kinds of customers. Old ladies that just want their interest entered into a passbook, people with bags of coins that eat up time and create long lines. People in those long lines wanting to just get the heck out of there and lots and lots of other problems.
On the other hand I've been to banks in really small towns where the tellers know every customer by their first name. Each customer is greeted with a smile, questions on how the family is doing, is the party still on for Saturday, etc. Older people stopping in just to have someone to talk to also. Kids changing a quarter for pennies for their collections and no one caring about a possible long line since everyone in such a line is talking to each other. A candy dish and even coffee at a front table for free. The teller is dating your son or a neighbor so that too is something to discuss in line.
I imagine if all people and banks were like those, no one would ever complain about a banking job.
