Kind of a long story...
I've been cleaning out my room recently, yay! And I came upon a book for a savings account I had forgotten about. I hadn't been to this bank in aaaages, as my mother and I switched to a bank that treats us better financially. Anyway, I go to the bank to make sure the account still exists and to get any and all existing monies from it (Yay monies!).
So I get there. Three tellers are there, the one on the far left busy with a customer, the one in the middle doing other work, and the third on the right with another customer. So I wait in line, patiently, getting everything ready for my exchange. The customer leaves, I wait for a welcome nod and approach and begin to explain my situation to my polite teller. At some point, a man approached the middle teller and she assists him. My teller ran off to check something about the account, and I hear a woman RUN in from outside. She zooms to the front of the line and waits, looking at every customer and every teller in turn, tapping her foot, and making it VERY clear that whatever she needs done needs to be done AN HOUR AGO OH MY GOODNESS THIS LINE IS TAKING FOREVER. She has, as you have seen, JUST reached the bank.
My teller comes back and we resume the transaction. The time is 1:23 PM (This is important!) The man to my left leaves. The woman RUNS forward and explains that she needs money taken out of two accounts and wired to someone. Her teller begins to look over everything for the transaction and basically do her job and the woman is practically flipping out. "JUST TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF THE ACCOUNTS!" I thought she was gonna have a heart attack. Her teller comes over to ask mine a question, (which is obviously not an issue for me,) and the woman is now screaming so the whole bank can hear. "JUST TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF THE ACCOUNTS! IT HAS TO BE THERE BY 1:30!!!!" The woman is losing any form of composure she once might've had. My teller explains to her teller what to do, (there is, of course, more than JUST TAKING THE MONEY OUT OF THE ACCOUNTS OMG!, and it seemed a bit involved,) and she returns to help this lady out.
My teller whispers to me, "I'm sorry about that." I return with a quiet, "It isn't -your- fault some people don't plan ahead." She laughed. I said, a bit more loudly, though I don't know or care if the other woman heard me, that it was immature to act that way and inflict that behavior on others because SHE hadn't planned the important things on her day. (Reference: the impatient woman looked to be in her 50s and I'm 19.)
I left before 1:26, and the woman was still there, impatiently rushing her poor teller. God, I just wanted to spit acid onto her face. What is wrong with people?! It makes me SO mad!
