I am in dyer necessity of simple and practical clarification. We are all aware that I am in banking? Correct? Good now that that's settled. Please tell me what is so absolutely painful and earth shattering about filling out one's deposit slip? As a banking rep. I hate filling out customer deposit slips. For a myriad of reasons. I hate it because I am usually trying to do ten other things for the same customer at the same time. I hate it because it isn't my job and the number one reason I hate it is that the customers won't help themselves, they would not think twice if I did it for them, but yet would not think twice about pinning me and trying to get me fired if I filled it out incorrectly. (Dramatic I know, but it has happened) The customer is either too lazy or incompetent (jury is still out on this one) to fill out there own deposit slips, they are incapable of reading the directions on the slip itself. And then when I offer to explain how to do it they huff and puff and blow the bank down. What is the deal? Let's talk about what's on a Deposit Slip...hmmm let's see well, there's your name, your address, the date of your deposit, your amount of what you are depositing, a spot for your signature, oh and your acct. number. Do you see the pattern here, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR. Everything that the bank is looking for on that slip, you should know. Why would you expect a bank rep. to fill that out when she sees 100 other people just like you everyday. I have great parents and when I started to make my own money my dad took me to the bank, opened an account and then he taught me proper bank etiquette. He taught me to keep a register, to memorize my acct. number, and to always make sure my slip was filled out before I entered the presence of a teller. Are we not teaching this to our children? Is it the bank's fault that they are enabling a group of relatively competent and normal functioning human beings by filling out everything for them reducing them down to generational nitwits? I am truly confused by this quandary! Not meant to offend only to vent.
