Is every bank as unprofessional as Chase bank?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
When I go to withdraw money and I fill out the Withdraw slip, lets say I want to withdraw $1000. I write it on slip. Then the tell asks what denominations I want the $1000 to be in. Then she gives me the cash and doesn't even put it in envelope.

When she/he asks what denominations I want, everyone in the bank can hear it, everyone knows withdrawing money, everyone sees the teller give me the cash.

I'm a target for a robbery right there outside the bank because everyone knows I have an extra $1000.

Why can't the banks just make on deposit slips to write down denominations and give it to me in envelope so nobody else knows my business but me and the teller?

Are other banks as unprofessional as Chase?

What you call "unprofessional" the banking industry calls "standard procedure." Any teller is going to count out the cash in front of you, so that both you and they can verify that you are receiving the correct amount. What if you were just handed a sealed envelope full of cash, and then took it home and discovered it only contained $890? And you had a receipt showing that $1000 had been removed from your account? You'd be a little more upset about that, don't you think? That's why they count it out right there, so that you know that this won't be happening.

Deposit slips only have room for so much information. The deposit slip is intended for the teller's recordkeeping, not for your personal convenience. Many banks have phased them out completely to reduce expenses. If the teller was speaking so loudly that people outside the bank could hear, then you certainly would have a valid complaint, but I doubt that this was the case. As for the people standing in line, there is a reason that the front of the line is a few feet away from the counter. It is to give you some privacy so that nobody is close enough to either see or hear what you are doing.

And if you would like an envelope, then all you have to do is ask and they will be happy to give you one. But they can't read minds any more than you can.

Wow, if that's your definition of unprofessional, I'd hate to see what happens when you encounter an ACTUAL problem.

You literally just described every single bank I've ever been to.

I have been frustrated by the poor service at large banks my self, so I'm going to say "yes".

You may have better luck with smaller banks or credit unions.

Yes, they are - if that's your definition of "unprofessional."

Yes, that is normal procedure.
