Was dropping off a rolled box today at one of the 6 or 7 branches I rotate through every week or two. The teller asks me "How many more of these do you have?" My first thought was 'oh $#%^, I'm going to lose a dump branch'. So I tell her I usually have one or two a week and ask if the coins are causing her trouble? She says not really, they just have to unroll them all so they can ship them out in bags. I, quite graciously, suggest that if it's easier on them I'd be happy to bring them in in bags instead of rolls. She says that'd be great and hands me an empty bag. My dumping life just got a whole lot better.
The 1st best dump I ever had was last summer. I dumped ~$450 of halves into a machine on a Friday at a branch I don't normally frequent. When I got home I had a message on the phone from the teller who helped me saying they accidentally shorted me $760 (above and beyond the $450 in cash I left with) and that they've deposited into my account and that they were very sorry for the misunderstanding. The branch was already closed on not open on the weekend so I called on Monday wanting to talk to the exact teller who had helped me and explain to her that this is a mistake. Well she was on vacation and would be out all week. I didn't want call out the error to someone else thinking maybe I'd get her in trouble. So I called her right when the bank opened the next Monday and told her that I certainly didn't have $1,200 in halves and that the money wasn't mine. After about 5 minutes that nearly escalated into an argument she said "well I don't know who's it is then, we can't keep it and your's is the only account we have record of. Just take the money and consider it a gift!" And since then I don't worry too much when I'm shorted a buck or two on the count.
