I couldn't agree with you more TenSense! I also worked at a bank in college.

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.

My wife is a teller/loan officer. I remember when I first started roll hunting. I went in and all four tellers had silver halves in their bins. I got 'em all! One of the girls related the time an old man turned in his Morgan dollars. Now, most banks are required to tell customers of value over face of rare coins. The old man didn't care, so she got those 20+ Morgans at face. My wife is a silver block and brings it home on occasion. My best find there was a solid roll of silver Walkers and Bens, it held a nice '38D Walker. Wifey also brought home a solid roll of steel wheaties! On occasion the tellers drawers count short or over, and no one leaves until the $ is accounted for, be it 1 cent or $100.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
