No, I've never chit-chatted with tellers, nor would I want to.

You may be the odd one out then. I've spent a fair amount of time in lines at the bank and most people are quite chatty.

Even still, there's a difference between random chit-chat and the bank representative looking into your transaction history and making comments on it.

Cultural behavior differs widely even between regions. Whats true at your bank could be entirely different 500 kilometers down the road.
