I recently had a certified check that I took to my bank. I was irritated because I was going through the drive -thru and pushed the buzzer to ask a question. The teller didn't bother to acknowledge the buzzer until after she did the transaction. I asked how if there would be a hold on the check and she said 7-10 days. I told her to undo the transaction since I needed some of the money in a couple of days. When I went in the next day to do another transaction, I spoke with another teller and she said that if I had spoken to a branch manager, they would have called the other bank the check was written on and made sure it was OK and they would have released the money the next day. Unfortunately the teller couldn't have been bothered to tell me that. I made a complaint about this. I'm beginning to think most banks really figure they have you over the barrel and do whatever they can to screw you. Yep, I've become very cynical. Oh yeah, I took the check to another bank and had no problems. Guess which bank didn't get the money in my money market account????
