Agree.. I think everyone should have to do it for a month though..it shows you that your check hold, or your ranch, or you not as comfy as you would like chair etc.. are not at all as important as you think they are.
Like now, the lady huffing and puffing at the front of the line... I would have helped you a long time ago if you weren't huffing and puffing like you are about to blow some poor pig's house down. Staring at me, wondering what I'm doing instead of helping you... bet you think Im typing some big important email to upper management? Nope... Inforoo...
nerdbyrd I was a teller for years.. soo many stories...most horrible. I finally got out of it for a slightly better office job doing the loans and new accounts.. now its off to the thankless world of mortgage loan origination... at least this spot pays enough to make dealing with some of these people worth it!
I, too, have stories for days of my time behind the teller line. I really don't hate the customer service aspect of my job (okay, sometimes I do). I mostly just hate the sales aspect of my job. And, being the lead, I sometimes hate the stupid questions I have to answer from the other tellers. Questions they've asked 73863 times already that week. Sure, people are batshit crazy, but that's true anywhere I've worked, haha. And honestly, I've become so used to it, that I actually find it amusing to piss people off by telling them I can't cash their check or I'm putting a hold on their deposit or I'm out of large bills. I also take pleasure in knowing who my most impatient customers are and taking as long as humanely possible to complete their transactions.

Well if it makes you feel better, I'm an auditor so right off the bat people hate you but at least you can tell them they're fucking up.
and lol @ the inforoo part.
We love our auditor! And our auditor loves us. We consistently stay compliant though, haha. She always has to search for things for us to work on...and it's usually things like keeping up branch appearance standards, making sure old literature is disposed of, properly stocking extra new account kits, etc.
I could use it. I am starting a new job after Bonnaroo. I work at a bank now and feel like they are punishing me before I leave by making me work the teller line my last week...
It is a big reminder that the majority of the public are:
A- Rude B - Dumb C- Entitled D - Any combo of the three
I'll take the teller line over working the desk and having my job rely on making sales of new products to customers. I absolutely hate the referral part of my job, but other than that, it's not so bad. I feel like referral goals force the tellers to shove shit down people's throats.

As someone who has always been in one capacity or another the human shield separating my employer from the people who's money they take I doubt mandatory CSR conscription would change a thing. Some people are just the worst.You'd end up with folks who would say things like "Look..I've worked in customer service and I KNOW there is ALWAYS an exception to the rule. All I want is [enter completely unrealistic expectation here] and I KNOW you can do it. It might not be easy but you know you can do it. Talk to what ever supervisor you need....no on second thought let me speak to YOUR supervisor"
I stand corrected you are 100% right. People already do that. I just hope that when I am 70 and retired I don't pull the "I used to work in ______ I know how it works" card. The truth is no... no you don't know how it works in 2015. You may know how it worked in 1985, but things have changed a bit over the past 30 years...
Monie I edited this to add a response to you instead of having the dreaded triple post!
You win for sure, I've had friends that do that and I'll just leave it at I know I could not. You do get some entertainment though?? I remember one of my friends trying to recreate the lady who called 4 times about a bird who hurt his wing and couldn't fly, she was upset that they wouldn't send an ambulance and kept caling back to get a different person! Plus you are being recorded which would land me in a world of trouble! I can tell people "Get the fuck out of my office!" and I have, then when they complain to my boss... "I don't recall ever saying that."

Sadly I know what you mean and also take some sick joy out of making people more upset than they were to begin with. It all comes down to your attitude though. You have about 30 seconds to sway me one way or another. If you are polite, nice, reasonable, or just not a dick, I will bend over backwards to help you. If you piss me off within the first 30 seconds, try to tell me how to do my job, or come in with the attitude that whatever is going on is somehow not your fault it is ours as the bank... then you get nothing and you will like it

Oh, I couldn't agree more! It's one hundred percent all about their attitude. If someone is pleasant with me, I'll be pleasant with them. But the customers who come in and are snotty from the start, or if I try and tell them something nicely and they immediately get salty about it...then my goal becomes to give them a reason to be irritated at that point, haha. Maybe we're just jaded...oh well!
Also, point well received. I'm very guilty of the triple posts on occasion, haha.
I worked as a bank teller one summer - temp job when I was in graduate school. I suppose I wasn't there long enough to hate it. I have a few good memories - the best being the guy who came into the bank on a busy day, stood in line and shit in his pants, walked slowly shaking it out of his pants leg one turd at a time... and acted like nothing happened.

YES! That's awesome. We once had a little kid shit his pants in the lobby. It was just after Thanksgiving. Made the whole building smell like shit. Not more than 5 minutes later, this little old lady came in and said all excitedly, "Ohhh! It smells like Christmas in here!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I do know I would never want to experience the holidays at her house.

I don't even have anything close to that... Bravo!
Anyone else in guest camping? I am lucky eough to have a guest pass with a group of 6 or more but they all have to work... media, photos and such. It would be nice to know someone else in guest that does not have to work the whole time. See you at the crawlfish boil? Catch some shows... You don't have to be in guest camping but that would be cool.
