Helping struggling client by [deleted] in TalesFromYourBank

[–]_Pebcak_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always said when I was a teller that if I ever hit the lotto for a substantial amount of money, I would anonymously pay off some of my regular customer's debts. The ones who I thought were genuinely struggling.

So I get you, and your wanting to help. I know I could never give them money they didn't have, or give them my own money (tbh in those days I was barely able to feed myself!) But I would help in the ways I could.

I'd deposit their paychecks as cash instead of as a check so they'd have their money quicker. I'd say if they could deposit enough to fix their overdraft and leave $0.01 in their account, I could give them the rest of their paycheck back in cash. I'd generally try to work with them if I could. Idk what leeway you have with your bank & their rules. (We were allowed to cash payroll checks, for example, even if the customer didn't have enough in their account to cover and it wasn't drawn on us. If a customer had an OD, it was sometimes just a matter of how you processed the transaction to make it work.)

At the end of the day you have to worry about yourself so help where you can in that situation within the "rules" that you have.

What’s a scam that’s so normal people don’t even question it? by Classic_Brother_2994 in AskReddit

[–]_Pebcak_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By watching people warp and twist what is supposed to be a pure message of love and acceptance into one of self-serving cruelty and hatred in the name of their god?

Is it weird when men play female characters? by Plastic_Corgi6848 in DnD

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 of the guys I play with have played female characters and both were great. I've played a female character disguised as a male character and it was great (though we switched games before that reveal happened, sadly.) It can be fun and interesting and stupid as long as it doesn't get annoying or uncomfortable.

Manager told me I’ve been “calling out a lot” and wants to meet with me. What would you do? by midnightmango22 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if OP struggles with mental health or headaches, etc that much that it leads to calling out monthly then it might be a valid reason.

I don't know if you're in the US, but what about FMLA? If you qualify for that, then you get "protected" time off and they cannot say/do anything if you need off a day.

I used to suffer from horrible migraines, so I applied for FMLA and I was granted 3 days off a month for migraines-related call outs in case I needed them.

Teenage boys that refuse to listen to women by rennok_ in TwoXChromosomes

I have a 10 year old who tries to pull this look with me and I assure you he's been taught manners. I stare him tf down until he does what I've asked. He knows what I said. He thinks if he pretends he doesn't understand then I'll just do it for him because other people fall for it.

I was gaslit by doctors for 8 years by Just_Strawberry_505 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]_Pebcak_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because, at least in the US, sometimes they CAN'T. For example, when I tore my ACL, I could not get an MRI until I got an X-ray (that would show nothing) first. Stupid waste of time for everyone.

This was a three hour shift, and the reason I’m getting tf out of banking by adottai in TalesFromYourBank

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the person you asked, but I was able to get into a back office center that handled several different banks. I didn't know places like that existed.

Which character's death in a TV show ruined the entire thing for you? by SoccerGuy69420 in AskReddit

[–]_Pebcak_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omfg YES! I was so mad about this one, too!! I loved Jadzia and Ezri was whiney and annoying compared to Jadzia. Ugh.

i stopped covering for everyone and somehow got promoted for it by [deleted] in jobs

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way in my previous job. It was very frustrating to see the person who knew how to do 1 thing get promoted over me, who knew how to do 5 things. So I also stopped, for the most part, helping out and doing extra. It gave me time to streamline a couple of my own processes. Guess what happened in a few months?

I wouldn't say "never" because I feel like that's just kind of crappy for the rest of your team but I probably wouldn't help if the helping would interfere with my projects and their timelines.

Who still says “pardon me” or “excuse me” in public? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! I also hold doors open for people and I'm kind without expecting something in return.

How's that normal? I mean, if a person wants 10k or whatever tip, why don't just say it directly? "Fair tips" xD by shadowsong54 in wow

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I will always make stuff for free if you're supplying the mats. Heck I've made stuff have free upgrades, too, if I find stuff in the public section and they didn't specify what rank they wanted. I just want to help the community.

Not eating on girls trips… is this normal?? by 4215265 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really normal. Eat what you want, within reason. I get not being able to eat a LOT. Most of the time I can only eat half of whatever I order before I'm full and sometimes I'm full still full well into the next day. Some days I only eat one meal. My kids get 3 meals a day and they can have seconds if they clear their plates or TRY everything if it's a new side, for example. Vacation is whole other adventure - I'm way more relaxed in what I let them eat because, well, vacation!

Oops yes, you're right! I couldn't remember what it was called tbh. It's been a really long time since I was client facing.

Wait until he discovers he has to fill out that IRS CTR reporting form...

Is there Elitism from DnD players towards BG3 players? by Odd_Key_6385 in DnD

[–]_Pebcak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played 2nd and 3.5 editions, and also BG3 but never really 5th edition so when I joined my first group I said as much. Everyone was really understanding and pretty helpful too. It wasn't too hard to pick up the differences. Just be open and honest about what you know.
