Cashier: Dadi ji, you should withdraw such small amounts from the ATM outside. Don't waste a cheque leaf and my time.
Old lady: What's the problem with giving me Rs 1000/- cash?
Cashier: Sorry Dadi ji, can't be done. You either go to the ATM, or increase the amount to be withdrawn.
Old lady: Okay, I want to withdraw all money in my account, keeping a minimum mandatory balance.
The cashier checks her account balance and finds it to be over Rs 80 lakhs! She says_ "we don't have that much cash in the safe right now. But if you give me a cheque for Rs 80 lakhs, we can arrange the cash tomorrow.
Old lady: How much can you give me right now?
Cashier: (checks the bank's cash balance) Dadi ji, I can give you Rs 10 lakhs straight away.
The old lady tears off the earlier cheque of Rs 1000/-, writes a new one for Rs 10 lakhs and hands it to the cashier.
While the young girl is gone to the vault to get the cash, the old lady grabs a cash deposit slip from the public shelf and fills it up.
The young girl returns with the cash, meticulously counts out Rs 10 lakhs, gives it to the old lady and says_ "there you are, Dadi ji. Now you will have to carry this pile home on your own. But count your money before leaving the counter. I won't entertain any complaint later."
The old lady picks out two notes of Rs 500/- from the pile, puts them in her purse and says_ "I trust you, beta, I don't need to count. Now, here's a cash deposit slip. Please deposit Rs 9,99,000/- into my account and give me the stamped and signed counterfoil. Andh yes, count the cash in my presence."
Moral of the story: Don't mess with seniors
