    I was left for the first time speechless Guy comes into my office. and says he can't activate his new debit card. No problem, I'll help. We dial the activation from his phone and hear "Press 1 for English". He says "That's

    why I can't activate my card! I'm not pressing 1 for English in America!" I just kind of looked at him for a minute, finally said "Uh, I could press it for you?" He snapped back "THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" He eventually relented and we activated

    emcathow We found a debit card in the night drop on a Monday morning. We figured someone found it and returned it to the bank for our customer. We put it to the side to call him to let him know we had his card. Within twenty minutes of opening he came into the branch to get his debit card without us calling him.

    He said he was mad when he had to select English on the ATM so he put his own card in the night drop "because he shouldn't have to select English in America". Maybe he thought he was proving a point? We laughed so much about the walk of shame he had to make back to the branch for his card. Monday morning regrets, I guess

    As I'm saying the word passport, her son chimes in with "She doesn't have a passport! She's from AMERICA!" I was so caught off guard all I could do was chuckle and say "alrighty".

    Maximilian_Xavier ⚫ My favorite ever was a lady who came over to complain to me that everyone in the branch was not speaking English and how it was. I literally just looked at her, "what do you want me to do?"

    "I get you may have to help some customers that way, but they shouldn't speak to themselves in anything but English." "Okay..." I found that just simply saying okay and staring back helped in situations like that. They really don't know where to go with the conversation after that.

    do I care what language anyone speaks in if I'm making sales goals. This is America AND banking. Money is the language.

    Msboredd Yesterday I had a lady drive an hour to ask for our routing number. I can think of like 5 places it would be on her end, but oh well. She came in and was like "Well this was VERY inconvenient" my manager and I gave each other a look and busted out laughing after she left.

    frogmuffins I had one of those types yesterday. He put in a corporate complaint that his branch was understaffed. The branch manager called him and spelled out exactly why.

    That wasn't good enough, he wanted to complain again and was so flustered when all I could do was submit the exact same complaint again. "You're being was his final response to me.
