Karen demands bank teller reprint her debit card 8 times, teller maliciously complies: '[Your] employee tricked me into paying $100 worth of fees'

Difficult people often find themselves dealing with difficult consequences. At the end of the day, they have no one to blame but themselves for being, well, difficult . Here, we have an entitled Karen customer who didn't like the fact that the bank's printing machine smudged two numbers on her new debit card (this did not affect whether or not the card worked). Now, if this happened once and the customer politely requested to have it reprinted, that would have been fine. However, this lady coul…

'Ok, I'll do it your way': Bank teller gets told off by their bosses for trying to improve cash ordering system, everything goes wrong

You might think that handling a truckload of cash every day would be an exciting gig, invoking images in your mind of the opening scene of “The Dark Knight” with clowns wearing clown masks and school buses and such being a part of the everyday experience. Well, hate to break it to you, but nothing about working in a bank makes for an exciting gig.

'I decide to go full loophole': Bank branch worker helps customer stuck in phone call loop

'I decide to go full loophole': Bank branch worker helps customer stuck in phone call loop

This person deserves a medal after spending ages helping one customer. If not a medal, they at least deserve some kudos from their boss for taking the time to help a Spanish-speaking customer figure out her way around a complex phone system. After that, check out the employee who had a crafty way of supplying a photo for HR without actually getting his face in the picture, writing that he “ went for another technicality .”

'I tried to warn someone... they never listen': Beach town tourist refuses to pay hotel bill, calls front desk to gloat

Hotel front desk workers are responsible for many things, but fixing poor customer decisions is not one of them. One hotel worker at a popular beach destination knows that all too well in the aftermath of an incident with one customer that really stood out. Taking a summer trip to the beach can be an amazing way to relax and unwind for a few days. You can start each morning with a hotel breakfast, then spend your days with your toes in the sand while the kids build sandcastles. After spending t…

'We have documentation': Hotel guest charged $500 after he didn't show up for his reservation, then expects employee to pay for his mistake

'We have documentation': Hotel guest charged $500 after he didn't show up for his reservation, then expects employee to pay for his mistake

When people don't get their way, they'll resort to other measures… such as calling the bank. As told by a user on Reddit, a guest failed to show up to check into their hotel room after reserving 2 very expensive rooms for a couple of nights. The user was an employee at the hotel, working the front desk, and hadn't even received a call from the guest who clearly didn't think he needed to cancel. A few weeks later, the inevitable happened… he got a big bill, which he, of course, called to complai…

'It's worth A LOT more than $10': Spring cleaning turns profitable when a guy discovers a rare treasure in his childhood bedroom

It's spring cleaning season, which means it's time to dig through the treasures deep in your bedroom that haven't seen the light of day since your high school years. With the New Year's Eve glasses from the turn of the millennium on your face, you peep through the center 0's of ‘2000’ and shuffle through yearbooks, old costumes, and miscellaneous junk that you once thought held value. While most of it is probably overdue to be tossed in the trash, sometimes you can find some hidden treasures...

'I don't want your teller fired over this': Bank teller gives $3,000 to a random customer, good Samaritan restores faith in humanity

There are a few moments in every person's life where they're given the opportunity to do the right thing. Unbeknownst to sleeper-agent good Samaritans, these moments are usually veiled with the guise of self-serving outcomes, the ‘finders keepers’ principal, or, in the case of the guy in our next story, accidentally earning $3,000 cash.

'She tried to get her money back': Woman buys a laptop to use solely on vacation, then attempts to get a full refund when she arrives home

If you've ever sold something online, you know that the customers aren't ideal. They text you, 'Is this available?', only to ghost you when you answer in the affirmative. Or they promise to pick it up, set up a date and a time, and then never show up. Or they actually show up with half the money and give you a sob story on why you should give them the item for free. Yes, I'm speaking from experience. One man decided to sell an old laptop he had back from his University days, posting it online,…

Update: 'Biggest payday of my life for 2 minutes of work': Contractor spends entire weekend at work after being told to "stay as long as it takes"

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling. This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend , but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestrada…

'It took them over 12 years to do what I requested': Bank declines customer's request to close account over $0.51 in remaining funds

It's funny how, as kids, we think that adults are the best at everything. They are free to do as they please, whenever they please, and with whoever they like. They are free to live their lives as they see fit with no one directing them what to do or how to do it. However, that is completely untrue. It's fascinating to notice that, no matter how passionately we remember and want it, that innocent feeling of freedom we so vividly recall from childhood has faded and disappeared and is unlikely ev…

'I went to the bank and withdrew $50 in 2 dollar bills': Online seller needs to reach 100 sales, maliciously complies to earn top rated seller status

There is nothing quite like the satisfying feeling that comes with finding a loophole that actually works. Here, we have an online seller who was hoping to achieve a top rated seller status and had already earned over $6000 for his sales. However, he achieved this with just 75 sales, and according to eBay, he needed to earn at least $1,000 but with 100 sales. You would think what this online seller achieved would be more than enough to earn that status. In fact, it's much more impressive, but I…

‘I don’t care what you have to do, just print it again': Customer demands bank teller reprint her debit card so many times that it costs her

Going to the bank is like going to the dentist. Nobody does it because they want to, but rather, because they don't have a choice. It always takes a tremendous amount of effort for me to make an appointment, and then it's an exertion for me to make it to the designated location. In this case, a customer obviously didn't appreciate going to the bank, nor did she appreciate the debit card she was given after initially having lost her own. She told the bank teller that the numbers looked funny and…
