As a defense to bank tellers, mainly because my husband is one at the moment, some customers are just plain annoying. In the first place it is the responsibility of the customer to know how much money they have in the bank and how much they are depositing. We live in a college town and I just can't tell you how often you want to phone the parents of some of these young people and tell them that they are wasting their money on their children.
Young people these days can't seem to understand that you cannot spend money you don't have. And that it takes a certain amount of time for checks to clear before you can start spending the money. They also don't understand that if you deposit 500 dollars and that weekend go out and spend 1000 that you are in the negative and there are charges you have to pay for that. They are always saying "But why didn't the machine cut me off when I had spent all I had? Why did it let me keep spending money?!?!? That isn't fair!!!
One girl came in on a Monday morning and wanted to know how to stop payment on a debit charge to Red Lobster. She had taken a bunch of friends out to dinner on the previous Friday and now she didn't have enough money to pay her rent.
So while I understand that some tellers are just rude and there isn't an excuse for rudeness taking care of your money is ultimately your responsibility.
