Overheard: Don't Trust Anybody over Fifty

Markus Thielmann — Fri, 2008-05-02

Customer: How much are money orders here?
Teller: Well, I see that you are over the age of fifty so it'll be free for you.
Customer: Ok, so can I have a money order for $260?
Teller: Ok, so do you want to pay that in cash or withdraw from your account?
Customer: Excuse me?
Teller: How do you want to provide the funds for the money order?
Customer: I thought you said it was free.
Teller: There is no fee for the money order but you still need to provide the funds for it.
Customer: Oh, well you should have made that clear.
Teller: Wow, I'm sorry.
