Dear, sweet monkey bread, how long has it been? 9, almost 10 months since I submitted something here? I recently started a blog about My Little Pony’s main character, so even though I’m not at the Golden Arches anymore, “McSparkles” still works for my moniker.
Aside from being distracted by drawing purple ponies blogging, I’ve also not really had many reasons to write in about work. The bank that hired me has been an amazing job experience since I started here.
Let me tell you the things that I actually get to do at the bank that I couldn’t at the Arches:
-If I have to pee, I CAN.
-If we don’t have any customers, I CAN SIT DOWN.
-If I get thirsty, I CAN DRINK SOMETHING.
-If I have a question, I GET AN ANSWER.
-If I need a moment to hide in the back and cry, I CAN.
-If I need time off for a vacation, I GET PAID TIME OFF.
I also have the best co-workers I’ve ever had in my job history. I mean, we’re topping my coworkers during my time serving the Mouse, here! They’re THAT good!
This isn’t to say the job is without its flaws. I do still have the occasional customer who is a complete and utter moron.
Some smaller examples include those who get pissed because they want to withdraw money, but can’t since they don’t have their ID’s on them. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to give you money just because you SAY you’re Mr. Numbnuts. I need the plastic PROOF that you’re Mr. Numbnuts, so that I know you’re not really Mr. Cockknocker trying to steal someone else’s money.
This is especially mind-boggling when they don’t have their ID’s with them in the Drive-Up. Yeah, good luck if your brilliant ass gets pulled over.
There’s also the customers that constantly overdraft their accounts, and then get mad at us for it. Oh, yes, it’s entirely my fault that you didn’t keep track of what was in your account, and I used my Dr. Xavior powers to wipe your memory of the minimum balance requirements and service fees you were warned about when you opened the account...
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll get into the more specific, hilarious incidents I’ve built up soon!

Very nice! I understand every one of those pros you listed under the bank as opposed to McHell's. Wish I had that freedom.
Also, BROHOOF! Link to your blog, maybe? I'd love to see a Twilight Sparkle blog =3

Nice! I wish we had chairs at the bank I work for. I agree with you totally about getting yelled at for people over drafting. The other thing that's my favorite is when we send out important messages in our customers statements and when they notice what is different I get yelled at for "not telling them". It was emailed to you, snail mailed to you, and in your statement. It's not my fault you don't know how to read! At one point we wrote up a list of things your bank teller wants you to know. If I find it I'll post it!

Oh man I feel for all the tellers out there. Custys have problems understanding how debit cards and checks work. If you consciously know you don't have enough money in your account, then why do you even buy things that are over your limit? Checks and debit cards especially. Then they yell at the innocent slaves because they were stupid enough to overdraw in the first place.

My credit union doesn't require ID - they have a digital copy of my DL that they pull up. Not only is it more convenient for me, but it prevents someone from using a fake ID to get my money.

Dear god, I hope for your own sake you aren't working for Hells Embargo
