    It's not chalk and cheese, it's just making a valid comparison.

    I think the people who bitch so much about banks should stop using banks... except they'd wet themselves with panic if banks were gone in the morning. Banks serve a useful function whether there has been fuk-ups/corruption or not.

    Anger towards some senior bankers, totally reasonable - but towards their minions? Lazy, unfair and... pretty stupid.

    So putting money into your bank acc is the same as littering the streets?
    So its an offence for both, my apologies, i never realised.

    Surely you know an analogy when you see one? :confused:
    The nature of comparative analogies is that the two things being compared aren't the same as each other, but comparable.

    Dudess, I'm so glad there are people like you on boards; an essential counter-balance to the inanity :)

    Right kids, I'm off to bed. Have a think about what happened here tonight, booboo

    This what theyre PAID to do, and quite well at that:rolleyes:

    Every bank clearly states money must be bagged and counted with the correct amount in each bag.
    Imagine if everyone went into the bank with bags of coins and asked them to count them, it would take all day.
    I cannot understand how the OP had not bagged it correctly, he only had €19.80, what combination of coins had he?
    I have no idea how well they are paid but it really does not matter because it's not their job to count bags of coins for customers.

    I wonder if you owed them enough money and came in with it in change, would they take it.

    If it was counted and bagged properly yes they would.

    And afterwards start another thread about how BOI are squandering the exchequer's money by employing lackeys to perform unnecessary tasks that contribute to inefficiency and are a reminder of the profligacy associated with the Celtic Tiger days?

    19.80 in coppers is gonna make a huge difference alright...

    EDIT: Anyway, the issue is not that the bank refuses to take money off someone because the teller doesn't like the look of him; it's because it takes more time (and possibly money) to sort through the odd change than it's worth. The systems are in place for a reason.

    So you cant lodge money in your OWN account, because they dont want to take it off you? Thats stupidity if I've ever heard it.

    They dont have to do business with you if they dont want to. Just like you dont have to with them.

    It was more the "but it's legal tender" side of it that I was replyign to, like everyone is somehow obliged to take it off you because it's "legal tender".

    Went in today and another teller took it no problem.

    She just weighed it which took about 45 seconds.

    Seems as if the other woman was just lazy and couldn't be bothered.

    You had €19.80, was it all 1cent, 2cent or what, you had to have the correct amount in some bags.
    Bags are 1c/ €1. 2c/ €2. 5c/ €5. 10/20c is €10. 50c/euro is €25.

    I had all the 1c in one bag, 2c in another bag, 5c in one bag, etc.

    None of the bags were full though.

    This is a bit different, all she had to do was add a few cent to make up the correct amount, where did you get the money to make up the extra for all the bags?

    She must be the only worker in any bank that will do this, she needs to put money in to have the correct amount in each bag,how will she do this if you don't give her the money?
    She gave you back 80c I take it, to make your 19.80.

    I once went in with about €140 in coins (all in full bags) and they made me go to a special room for it to be counted.

    Did they try to sell you loans, credit cards and mortgages in this special room?

    These people are already being paid to do so.
