Josephine Brown



So the branch I've been working at has been working out pretty okay so far. Like I've said before -- it's literally five minutes from my house, which helps with gas, and the ladies I work with are nice to me. Since it's a smaller branch, I'm getting to know some of the customers a lot better than I was when I was a pool teller which makes it easier on me.

Plus, I get some pretty awesome stories from the branch. Like my favorite customer -- Josephine Brown -- who talked to me for 20 minutes one day all excited about her Easter trip to New York City to see her grandson, and who just raved about her trip to Ireland her daughter took her on last year. On and on and on she went - about these great trips her daughter gives her as a Christmas gift every year. When I commented on how nice her daughter must be to give her such nice trips as a present, she inched closer to me and said, "And every year she also gives me a check for a THOUSAND dolalrs! ....And NOTHING says 'Merry Christmas!' like a THOUSAND DOLLARS!" ...Honestly, she made my day. Haha

Then there are other not-so-favorite-customers. Like the fat guy (excuse me... disabled guy) who called me a "F*cking c*nt" because I wouldn't cash his check without ID. It's not my fault that he's a) not a customer, b) forgot his ID in the car, c) never comes into our branch, therefore I didn't recongize him and d) that he was so lazy that he refused to go back to the car for the ID.

But overall there tend to be more Josephine Browns than "F*cking-c*nt-callers" so I guess I can't complain. :)
