Bank teller implied I was a coke dealer

[Mark A]

Maybe he really was just cleaning your card?

 

[robgmun]

maybe he wanted to score some?

I think you're all missing the point - the OP had a big wad of cash

The cynic in me says the entire story is fabricated and instead the OP wants to make a big deposit at the Bank of Attention.

Judging by his previous posts this would not surprise me in the slightest.

Now, there is no doubt at all in my mind as to what he was doing, implying that I got the money from selling drugs. I saw his name on his badge and could easily report him, my only reservation is that if he lives in the area and sees me he could quite quickly get me done over, he'd surely be sacked for this. Mind you, I was thinking of leaving this bank anyway and this could be a great time. Thoughts?

Sounds like he wanted you to sell him some coke.

I wouldn't report it, seems like overkill.

You are worried that a Bank teller will get you done over, Are you for real ?

Worst I have more cash than you thread Ever.

Should have told him you were a male giggolo

The largest amount of cash I've deposited in to my account was £50,000 and no one said a thing to me. Perhaps consider speaking to the bank if that's how they behave.

I went to the bank yesterday to drop a huge wad in.

The bank teller looked at me strange; he raised his cupped hand to his cheek and stuck his tongue in his other cheek. All of a sudden he gave his cupped hand a few pumps back and fourth like he was trying to floss with an invisible banana and then fluttered his eyelashes like he was fainting...

I'm not sure what he was insinuating - should I report him?

He said it was £200

 

[antijoke]

He's sniffing out the competition.

There is probably a contract out on your head.

I only have £199.99p Mr Pedant

What a clever man you are, you worked it out. We must add you to the ever-increasing horde of OCUK detectives.

My opinion may be against the grain on this forum sometimes but I certainly don't lie for attention.

Are you sure he wasn't waiting on something happening on his computer and was just tapping the card and then made small talk?

Usually what happens with me. It just seems so strange.

It is so strange. Very, very surreal. The guy was acting very strangely himself, I thought he was odd when I first went to the window.

By the way, it was Santander! So if you were thinking of banking with them... don't. The service I have received from them over the years has been dreadful so yes, I should move on.

Interesting...

Perhaps someone should forward this thread onto the Santander PR department, I’m sure they will be interested to hear about this and investigate the tellers actions, clearly if it's not true I’m equally sure they will be very interested in speaking to you about trying to soil the banks reputation.

I was considering writing to them myself but if you feel it necessary to 'sound me out' by sending this to the bank, be my guest. It would look much better coming from me though. I remember the teller's name and still have the payment slip [which actually reads £180] and have no doubt as to what happened.

 

[Firestar_3x]

I have no intention of wasting my time doing so, however if you feel strongly enough about the 'situation' to post a thread on the internet banging on about it and stating things about the actions of Santander employees and the company as a whole then then perhaps you should be the one to take it further.

Thank you, I will do so. I will keep this updated too.

Are you a Santander employee?

 

[Skidder]

£180!

Wow with cash like that no wonder he thought you were a bad ass pimp, dealer. If you're rockin' a wad of bills like that be prepared to get attention.

The bank may not have much detail about you on their system. They do like to keep track of their customers so they know what to try and flog you.

I wouldn't bother reporting him nor would I find it offensive. It's not such a big thing as you'd be suprised how commone cocaine use is these days. Forget about it.

Incidently do you have any pics online so we can see how you look? If you look a certain and walk into a bank depositing large amounts of cash the cashier may be right in assuming you'r selling coke or it may just be a case of mistaken idenitity.

The other day I was in London for the day with 3 friends for the protest and we decided to go for a look round Harrods. We couldn't find it and asked a security guard where it was and the first response was 'have you come down here to kick some windows through or loot the place'. He was saying it half jokingly but neither of us got upset by it.
