Default Tired of the sales pitch at the bank

I know this might not be applicable to everyone since we just had a thread recently about 'how often do you actually go into a bank' and many people said never.

I go to the bank about twice a month - usually to deposit checks from online surveys or to deposit bottle refund money or the like. Everytime I go, the customer service reps ask me if I'd like to make an appointment with a financial rep. They also ask if I'd like a home equity loan. They also ask if I'd like to refinance my car. They also ask if I'd like to apply for the bank credit card. And on and on.

I realize they receive referral bonuses if I actually take them up on one of the offers. However, this is a small bank and the tellers know me and they know I always say NO but they continue to ask.

Here's the real kicker, sometimes after I've deposited money into my account, they'll look at the balance and ask if I have plans for that money!

Does anyone else get harrassed at the bank!
