(Every bank I've ever heard of has fees for non-customers; it's business).
You weren't cheated, you were just being a jerk and haggled your way into getting a favor by whining about it.
But anyway, I wasn't there so maybe it's just the way you typed it up. It's not like I've never seen bankers be ass holes too.
the lady had an attitude right from the getgo. instead of saying in a pleasant tone, "sir are you aware that you have to pay a fee for cashing a check if you are a non-customer?" she instead said in an authorative tone, "YOU will be charged a fee for cashing this check for being a noncustomer." talking to me in that harsh a tone sure didnt help her cause.
she was younger than me and probably just got promoted to this new position of authority as the manager. im guessing the power might be going to her head a bit and isnt using common sense when dealing with people. she also had a slight speech impediment. nothing against her disability. im just wondering if she was made fun of as a child for it since kids can be cruel. and now has that mindset whether conscious or subconscious to get back at others since she was treated badly.
since she took a harsh tone with me right from the getgo indicating that she may be possibly abusive with her authority, i wasnt about to bring other cashiers into the crossfire who have helped me in the past. i wouldnt want to get them possibly punished. if one of them voluntarily chose to step foward, then so be it.
also banks are screwing you over if they ever charge you to cash a check issued from themselves. theres actually less steps involved. assuming i had an account there, instead of debiting the account it was drawn from and crediting my account for that same amount. then debiting my account and crediting their cash account to pay me. all they have to do if im not a customer is to debit the account it is drawn from, then credit their cash account to pay me. the check itself is also a record of the transaction.
