Went to the bank today and bought a brick of fives. Wore my mask into the bank and that felt weird. Under normal times alarms would be set off if you entered with a mask on. Went to the teller and handed her $5000.00 in hundreds which was fine until I asked her to change it into fives. That is when she had a stun look on her face ... she put my request into her computer and said that is 1000 fives. I concurred and she now had tears in her eyes, proceeding to tell me how long it would take for the machine to dispense them out. I told her to go see the head teller as I suspect it will come from the safe not the machine. After her talk with a manager they went to the commercial window and were back in a flash with the cash. The young teller said she was glad she did not have to use the machine for the transaction. All was well in the end but you must wonder the level of training provided to the staff.
