That seems inappropriate and unprofessional

I've always felt a bit uneasy that the teller at the bank knows how much I deposit and withdraw from my account. For example when I bought my Cuda I took out a lot of money and the lady made some smart ass comment about it.

Then today I deposited my check from the farm. I hadn't gotten paid in about a month because it's a busy month so the check was quite big. The teller says "whoa, I wish I made what you made." Does that seem hugely unprofessional to anyone else? I'm not sure why, but it's really irking me.

For the record I don't make much. That was a months worth of work I was depositing.

I hate when that happens to me at Walgreens when I check out my extra large condoms - Whoa!

sorry, pretty lame but couldn't resist. Seriously though -that's the sort of stuff that it wouldn't hurt to report to the bank manager.

Definitely unprofessional. I used to work as a teller at a small credit union when I was in college. That sort of thing was not tolerated.

Speaking as a teller, I'd say it depends. If she's saying it loud enough for other people in the bank, then yeah, that's super unprofessional, and potentially dangerous. If she's just talking to you, then it's a little trickier. It's really hard to make small talk with hundreds of people per day, and sometimes we grasp at any available straws to avoid yet another conversation about the weather.

That is so much better than the laughing and pointing that happens to me when I make a deposit...

In the last few years, I am inside the bank/credit union more than the average person- doing treasurer duty for clubs. Maybe a sign of the times, how depressing it gets in there, and the amount bickering going on between tellers and customers over what seemed to be cashing of checks and dates of deposits.
