It’s not often that I have to take the bus, but yesterday afternoon while my trusty Yaris was getting a check-up, I decided to take the bus down to have lunch with my wife.<\/p>\nIt’s not often that I have to take the bus, but yesterday afternoon while my trusty Yaris was getting a check-up, I decided to take the bus down to have lunch with my wife.<\/p>\n
The bus fare where I live is $2.50 and as luck would have it, I had a $5 bill on me (I generally don’t have cash in this increasingly cashless world).\u00a0 Further to this lucky streak, I was directly in front of a bank when I made this decision and it seemed like a perfect place to get change.\u00a0 You know, since it’s a bank and all.<\/p>\n
I casually sauntered in and walked straight up to a cashier since the bank happened to be empty at the time.\u00a0 I then politely asked if they could break the $5 bill for me.<\/p>\n
At first the cashier looked at me with a very confused expression.\u00a0 To her credit, I think she was new.\u00a0 She took the money and froze there for a second.\u00a0 Then she looked to the cashier to her left for some guidance.\u00a0 It was then that the other cashier whispered to her “Ask him if he is a client”.<\/p>\n
She asked me nicely, “Sir, are you a client at this bank?”.\u00a0 I said “no” and then she looked back at her co-worker who shook her head from side to side.\u00a0 She then told me “Sorry sir, I’m not able to do that for you”.<\/p>\n
WTF!!!!\u00a0 I asked her nicely, “so, since I’m not a client, you won’t break this $5 bill for me?”.\u00a0 Again she said “no”.<\/p>\n
What total bullshit.\u00a0 Since when do you need to be a client of a particular bank before they will make change?\u00a0 I guess it has been a while since I have stepped into a bank as I do everything electronically, but when did this evil no-making-change r\u00e9gime take over?\u00a0 I can understand not cashing some strangers cheque or something that somehow puts the bank at risk.\u00a0 Was there some recent flood of counterfeit $5 bills in the market that I never heard about?\u00a0 Well, if there is, the Quiznos down the block hasn’t heard about it since they had no problem giving me change.<\/p>\n
I guess that’s what you call bad customer service.<\/p>\n
