Chelsea14Ian Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The following appeared on Facebook. Not word for word,but one of the funniest and best things I've heard for a long time. A old lady goes to the bank.Goes up to the cashier and presents her bank card "can I draw out £10 please" He replied you need to use the ATM,for sums less then £100.She asks again, same answer.Okay I will take all the money out of my account then.He checks her account. You have three hundred thousand pounds in your account and that's more money we have here now.Okay how much can I take out £300 .Okay that will do.He hands over £300.She puts £10 in handbag. Hands back £290 put that into my account please. More customer service required perhaps! 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Unfortunately bank staff are not allowed to use their initiative these days. If the computer says no, then it’s no. Gone are the days of true customer service - sadly! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The landlord from one of my local pubs told me that he gets changed by the bank for withdrawing coins for his floats. Seems a bit rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Businesses get charged for paying money into their accounts to be it notes or coin and is one of the main reasons companies such as supermarkets offer cashback. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
