Please be nice to your bank tellers

The job has a tad more to it than you realize.  Yes, my new job is working as a bank teller.  (Don't even get me started on not being able to find a better job than this...useless college degree.)  I've always taken the bank tellers I intereacted with for granted.  Deposit my check.  Give me some cash.  Whatevs.

Wrong.  There's a heck of a lot more to it.  Knowing all sorts of information and rules and regulations.  Knowing when to get a second form of ID or knowing when you will or won't be able to cash a check.  Not to mention handling tens of thousands of dollars at a time.  It can be a little overwhelming.

So, friends, please be kind to your tellers if there is a line at the bank.  Please understand if the computer tells them to place a hold on your very large check.  It's not their decision.  And please thank them for their help.
