The only reason I have interacted with a bank teller for the past 2 decades is to get quarters.

If I could get quarters form an ATM, there would be no reason ever for me to.

What are people using tellers for?

They need to look you in the eyes to see if you are pure of heart and deserve a mortage.

For everything other than $100, $20, & $5 I use a teller. Translates to I use a teller every week or 2. Why? because in many parts of this world cash is still king. Get out of the city for a change. Bring Cash.

Large counter deposits, cashier's checks. And my parents go in the bank to socialize with the tellers

How do you do a wire transfer from an atm? Even with a private banker I still have to call someone to move money above X amount - I can’t do everything through a web portal. Maybe my bank just sucks, though.

Crappy Wells Fargo app can't handle mobile deposits of Western Union and other Money Orders. So, I have to go to a branch, only 2.5 hours away.

Why am I stuck with WF? A longer, boring-er story.

My credit union is located near the route I take home from work on not very busy. So I use tellers for everything other than withdrawing cash.
