The best was when you flipped through the catalog, filled out the forms with the items you wanted, stood in line (sometimes for an enternity), then you'd get to the cashier and they'd tell you your item was not in stock and you would go home disappointed

Man, talk about blast from the past. I remember it always being empty when I shopped there, the counters were as you put it, filling up the forms and handing it to the staff through the window. I think I bought my first guitar there.

First you need a better bank.

I can tell you at my bank if I do a in person withdrawn at the teller no matter the amount, they require me to use my ATM card and enter my Pin at the window and then they will process the withdraw. I never do withdraws except when I do cash purchases over $400 which is the ATM limit. I also have account set up to notify me of any transaction over $100.

Yes, I totally agree

My former bank was so secure that they wouldn't even take *deposit* money from me!

In all seriousness, I walked into the main office branch of my bank in the 1990's with a $15,000 certified check from another bank, and they refused to accept it for deposit into my SAVINGS account. No, I wasn't trying to get cash out of the deal, I truly wanted to save the money back when they were still paying interest on savings accounts. I had to cash the certified check at the issuing bank, and then carry fifteen large to my own bank as cash to deposit it.

On the revenge side, depositing fifteen large in cash triggers some sort of mandatory federal paperwork to document the transaction, so I had the last laugh as the snotty teller spent the next half hour doing the extra paperwork just minutes before the bank was scheduled to close.....

I thought you needed a bank debit card and the pin? How did Thelma get those? Name of the teller = Thelma?

[Topcarbon]

I erased the account number and amount
But this is what Thelma used to withdraw money in person with the teller right in front of her

Actually any deposit over $10K required an cavity search of your body (Drug trafficing and money Laundering laws). I am kind of surprised they would take the cash since that does trigger all kinds of paper work as well.

I did same thing in 90's when buying our home, transfer money from my investment account to the bank and had a check issued by my investment company. Made the deposit and saw 3 days later the money was drawn from my investment account and two days later I walk in the bank and requested a bank check to take to the closing only to be told I could not have my money since check had not cleared, which was not true since I could see it had transfer (the first days of online banking). I had to escalate the issue with the bank president and got into a fight with him, eventually he agree to issue the check but it took a fight since he keep claiming it takes 10 days to clear a check even though the money was there.

I got my revenge a few years later when the company I work for got acquired and a number of us had unvested stock options and we all got cashed out. A huge check was auto deposited into my checking account. I show up at the bank to pull the money (this time payroll ACH deposit so it was there. When you try to pull a large sum out it triggers a meeting with the bank president, same guy who hassled me about my house down payment. He try to convince me to put it into some CD or some other investment they were peddling at the time. He did not remember me, but I remember him so I reminded him of the situation and the fact that he almost cost me closing on my house that day. I said he should have though twice about being such an ass since he never knows how much money someone might have. I close my account shortly after that and I had heard he got demoted since he lost mine a few others people I work with large deposits accounts.

So she withdrew $250? Or $250,000?

"Thelma Pearl" sounds like a totally made-up name

Not if you are 90 years old and live in the midwest
