Every Day Life: A Teller's Life

By Beth M

This month I am in the drive through at the bank where I work. I like it back there, gets me away from all the lobby nonsense. It's cash in and cash out, nothing more. I don't have to answer the phone or sell gift cards or cashier's checks or deal with the 'special' customers we all love so much. I'm back there, by myself and I can read and listen to my own music and I have a huge picture window in front of me which offers quite a view of the parking lot and surrounding areas. All of the things mentioned in my post this week are things that have actually been seen by the drive through teller, most of them by me. And these are just the tip of the iceberg, but there are some things I just can't put in print.

I'm sitting in the drive through and oh the sights I see!

      A half naked man in a beat up car
      A mom who just came from a bar
      Three screaming kids who want some sweets
      Dogs barking and whining for their treats
      Skaters keying an officer's cruiser
      A wimpy little car with the license plate BRUZR
      Some redneck idiot in a giant wheeled truck
      Driving over piles of snow and getting stuck
      A fist fight breaking out over a parking spot
      Couple of thugs meeting to swap money for pot
      Four enormous people in a tiny blue car
      Some amorous teens who may go too far
      I sit at my window and shake my head
      Wondering how they have the brains to get out of bed.

I'll spend one month in the drive through, and you wouldn't believe the sights I'll see!
