OT "There you go"

Quoted message said:

Whatever happened to cashiers and other people working in customer
service saying "Thank you" after waiting on you? I've just about quit
going to checkouts manned by employees and choose the self checkouts
instead because more times than not all I get is a "There you go."
There I go where? Even a "Have a nice day" would be sufficient.

I've never run into this particular scenario.

another note, I went to the bank today and deposited my paycheck and
took out $300.00 from it. The teller just hands me a stack of bills
and says, "There you go." She didn't even bother to count it out in
front of me. I had to stay there and count it before I left the
counter.

That's unheard of! Where on earth do you live? The teller is responsible
for balancing their drawer at the end of the day; counting out the bills is
more for their benefit than it is yours.

I hear what you're saying 🙂 I have a similar situation with a young
relative who says "OK" instead of "thank you" or the equivalent.

"It's raining out, would you like to take my car?" (to an evening
event, instead of taking the bus)
"OK"

"I know you like them so I bought you some kiwis."
"OK"

OK what? What does chirping "OK" mean? That it's acceptable to you
that I let you take my car? That you're indifferent to the kiwis and
I shouldn't have bothered? Is it an acknowledgment of the presence of
kiwis? Is there any appreciation in there anyplace?

Its about supply and demand, they don[t reallay need your money
that's a hard thing to say.. but .. they must be overan with business
and or... the manager hired some dumbass... or...
they are smart but don't get paid very much.

My kids and their friends and students from K-12 tend use "OK" to
express pleased acknowledgment. Sort of the way people my age use,
"Well alright!"

I still expect them to follow up with a thank you, gracias, danke, or
any of several variations on bows, salutes and salaams. I accept all of
these in the spirit offered (often humorous trending toward ironic) but
the point is made. When somebody does something for you, or gives you
something or goes out of their way for you, you're supposed to display
some gratitude.

I am not above prompting a hulking teenager with "And now, what do you say?"

I didn't say it had to be loud! I've never run into a teller who didn't
quietly count out the money they were giving me. Maybe they shouldn't, but
I've never run into it. The measly amount someone could steal from me is
much less than someone could get just holding up the bank itself 😉

On the rare occasions I go to the bank there is usually a customer there
getting large amounts of cash for a business, carrying those money pouches.
It's usually the customer who is talking about it loudly. The last time I
was at the bank there was a guy cashing in small bills and rolls of
quarters, nickels, dimes. I guess he runs a shop or something. He
announced "That's $500 in quarters", etc. and he was getting larger bills in
return. Now there's someone who is asking to be robbed!

My dad worked in banking. My sister works in banking and I have two
aunts that were tellers and they will all tell you that the teller is
suppose to count the money out to the customer. They're not suppose
to do it loudly though. That's why there's a large gap between the
teller windows and the people waiting in line. It's so the people
waiting in line can't hear what's going on at the windows.

Up here the teller counts out the money to herself and marks down how
many and of what demonination the bills are. Then she quietly counts out
the money speaking just loud enough for you to hear. This is for your
benifit and also another check that your getting the correct amount or
she isn't miscounting or someother error hasn't occured. This is the
method used at most banks, but there still are some that take your
request/paperwork back to somebody else who count out the money and gives
it to the teller, who has to sign for it. Then the teller gives it to you
and you have to sign for it...that style of accountability wastes time in
my books.

Well, I worked in banking for a time and none of us counted out
the money to the customer. I go to banks and no one counts the
money out to me. Perhaps it's regional. Regardless, I don't wish
for people to count my money back to me, and they don't, not in
stores, not in the post office, no where.

Personally, I don't pay attention, and there don't seem to be
people hanging around waiting to relieve anyone of their cash,
it's really a non-issue. Personally, I'm the 'just hand me my money'
type. Luckily, because that's how it is.

A newer variation: teller has no cash drawer or coin. If
you do any transaction which involves disbursing cur-
rency and/or coin, the teller prepares a bar coded record.
The teller obtains the funds using a bar code reader
which activates an ATM-like device elsewhere on the
premises, usually in a vault. The teller should still count
the funds. In smaller branches, the teller may direct you
to an internal ATM which does the same thing, only you
have to count the funds yourself, just like you would at a
regular ATM. The bar code can only be used once. The process feels a
bit clunky to me.

So what happens if you leave and you realize the bank shorted you
$20.00? It's going to be your word against theirs and guess who's
going to win. Sure at the end of the day when the tellers balance
their drawers they're going to come up $20.00 over but you still don't
have any proof that that extra $20.00 belongs to you.

At my credit union they count it twice right in front of the customer.

Must be regional, because I've never yet withdrawn cash from any bank
where the teller didn't count it out, in fact they always count it out
loud at least twice... once on their lower platform when taken from
the drawer and they mark down each denomination, how many, and the
total... then they count it out loud again but more slowly, directly
in front of me on the upper platform. They actually count out loud
and say the total but quietly, not nearly loud enough that anyone else
can hear. Sometimes when I withdraw a rather large sum after counting
twice the teller will ask a manager to recount, so it's counted out
loud at least a third time, often the manager counts twice also (that
makes 4), and then the teller counts again out loud right in front of
me (that makes 5). I withdraw cash often, always from the teller
inside the bank... I've never yet used a drive-thru or an ATM. I
enjoy entering a bank, I love the smell of money. <g>

If you go and complain, and the situation is as you say, then the bank
will call you to come in and pick up your money. Overs and shorts don't
look good on the record, whether it's the teller, the supervisor or the
manager.

I counted a teller's cash once, and she was $100 over. She went through
every single transaction for the day, separating out likely candidates
(a person who cashed a check for $20 was unlikely to have been shorted
by $100). Once those transactions were identified, another employee
called each customer.

I haven't gotten money at a teller station in a very long time. But when
I do, I can still count along as they are. I've actually caught a few
errors that way.

Nothing beats my bank losing a $500 cash deposit though. That was pretty
funny.
