An elderly woman came to the bank to withdraw $10.
The cashier told her, “For withdrawals of less than $100, use the ATM. Please leave if there are no other questions. Behind you is a queue of customers ... "
The elderly woman was silent for a few seconds, then returned the card to the cashier and said, "Then I'll withdraw all the money I have."
The cashier was surprised when she checked the balance on the card. “You have $500,000 in your account, and there is no such amount in the bank right now. Could you make an appointment and come back tomorrow?”
Then the old woman asked how much she could withdraw at once. Any amount up to $3,000, the cashier replied.
"Then please give me $2,915 now."
The cashier angrily went to the vault, picked up stacks of $20s, $10s, $5s, and spent the next few minutes counting out $2,915. “Is there anything else I can help you with today?” the cashier asked sternly.
The elderly woman put $10 in her purse and said, "Yes, I would like to put $2,905 in my account."
