    PLEASE tell me you told them to get lost, and made them watch the cashier stick the bundles on a Tellermate scale. PLEASE. That level of hand cramp would be intolerable.

    That's only 25,000 £20 notes. Wuss!

    Only.

    They could f*ck off, frankly. I'd be using the Tellermate. ;)

    My branch arranged a withdrawal of £500,000 last year when people were panicking over the safety of their cash. He had to sign to confirm he understood that once he left the room it was his responsibility. He moaned about this 'in case someone is watching'. My manager told him the only people watching were people he'd told what he was doing.

    In newly printed 50s it filled a decent sized briefcase but wasn't cumbersome.

    Ha I love counting money, all apart from old notes, (usually £5's) because when I do count them sometimes they rip! Takes more time putting celotape on them than it does to count £100 of them! :mad:

    Shelfstacker, What happens then when someone does not have a passport OR driving licence? it is not the law YET to have either of these?

    The most halifax let me withdraw with only my bank card was £1000.

    Then we will try and identify them through other means.

    It's not the law to have either, but it's fairly common sense that if you wish to withdraw thousands of pounds you might need to prove your identity to a greater degree than if you were getting out twenty quid.

    Their normal limit is £1200 per account. (In addition to £300 from an ATM, so a total of £1500 per day.)

    Yeah i withdrew the rest that i needed from the ATM. Maybe I got a stingy cashier (because I did outright ask what the max i could withdraw without ID was)

    for instance, in Truro in Cornwall, the main HSBC branch is only machines (i.e. can only get out from an ATM), while there's another smaller ("service") branch which has counters and cash... just limited amounts of it.

    But why?! Once again I despair at HSBC... why bother having two branches when offering the normal range of facilities (i.e. counters and machines) at just one would suffice? This only causes addition confusion for customers, and annoyance. HSBC seems to go the opposite of NatWest - whilst they seem to force customers to use machines (including the elderly) - or at least make it as difficult as possible to deal with a real person - NatWest branches usually have a noticable lack of machines in-branch and instead lots of cashier positions availble. :confused:
