So Close, Yet So Far Away

Hit a couple banks today that I've never been to. First had nothing. Second had $630 in halves. As soon as she took them out of safe, my heart sank. I could tell they were dumps. I was hopeful that at least one roll was from an old lady.
Then, I see five dimes at the bottom of her tray that didn't look like the rest. I asked if I could buy them. Nope, those are mine, I'm saving them, she says. Crap, I hate silver hoarding tellers. I had a feeling, if she was holding the dimes for herself, the halves would be a waste of time....I was right. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Crap, I hate silver hoarding tellers.

Sounds like a good place to dump moderate amounts of halves... You know she's going to want to take them!

Sounds like a good place to dump moderate amounts TONS of halves... You know she's going to want to take them!

I fixed this for ya... I've gotten to the point where I can walk into a bank here in CT and pick out who is the silver hoarder!

I can relate. One favorite source bank has a silver hoarding teller, an older lady. They have a policy there that the tellers can't keep coins for themselves. The head teller tried to get her to part with some halves in her drawer and I overheard her say that she had a friend coming in later to buy them for her. I could see the silver edges on those halves. Instead of turning it into a dump bank, I befriended the other tellers there and they save what they find for me The silver hoarder only gets what comes through her station. Unlike the other tellers there, she doesn't smile at the customers and has a nasty disposition. While there waiting, I've noticed that most customers coming in will avoid her window if they can.
