… you ever tried to tip your bank teller. :smack: :smack: :smack:
I lost my ATM card yesterday, which I have lived off of for years. So I went into the bank branch to get $300 bucks to take care of pocket expenses until the replacement shows up. It was all going well until she started counting it out. Instinctively, watching a person in uniform counting out money behind a counter, I knew $300 bucks wouldn’t break appropriately. So I grabbed a fiver out of my pocket and handed it to her with my best thank-you-smile when she was done. :smack: :smack: :smack:

She gave me a look like I hand given her a bloody dodo head. It took me about 30 seconds to put it together.

I am a dumbass. :smack: :smack: :smack:

So did she keep it??

If it would have been like my visits to a casino, that teller would just have drawn the money out of my account for me… and then thrown it in the trash while I watched in horror.

After you put money in a vending machine you reach for a nonexistent handle.

Guess it’s been a while since I’ve done anything at a casino other than eat at the buffet or drop the two quarters in my pocket into a slot machine. You tip the cashier / teller? I understand tipping dealers and waitresses, but not the person who swipes your credit card and gives you cash at your card’s cash advance rate of 19.99%

At least you didn’t hand it back to her and ask her to color you up.

6

No, you don’t tip the teller at the bank, which was the point of the OP.

7

Yes, sometimes, though it’s not as necessary as tipping dealers and waitresses.

I think gotpasswords was asking if you tip the casino teller, the one at the front who gives you chips/chases you out/et al.

That would be awesome. Think of the the anticipation. Is it? Is IT?

I won! I won a Coke!

10

Right, but the OP was about trying to tip a bank teller, not a casino teller.

If you’re just cashing a check or getting it off a credit card then no. But if you are cashing in chips or slot tokens from a decent win it’s somewhat customary to leave the odd ends. Usually a couple bucks if it’s $200 or less, maybe $5 or $10 up to $500 etc. It’s not a big deal and if you ended up with no odd ends, and no littles in your wallet then they’re not going to be offended if you don’t.

If a customer tries to pay you with several dollars in quarters and instead of sitting there counting them you make several stacks of four quarters then spread one out to confirm the stacks are all four quarters high.

I did this once and got a big laugh.
