Eh… yeah… but he also handed a note, like a bank robber.

And his face was completely covered like a bank robber. I mean this sounds pretty bad but I don't really blame the teller. Who does that?

I saw that! I would have been scared to death.

This guy is the only one to blame!

No one cares ninny! You can be good at something, but have the common sense of a coffee pot. We've all seen them, and often they are failures in life. Not saying he is, BUT he messed up and likely knows it. Especially saying they both moved on which was wise.

At least he's learned hopefully how to fill out a withdrawal slip!

Stand down Karen.

The police confirmed that the episode resulted from a “mistake by Bank of America and that Mr. Coogler was never in the wrong,”

Coogler had done this several times before when making withdrawals. If Bank of America had a problem with him handing the teller a note, or if there was another way they preferred he communicated with them, then they should have told him that.

Exactly! When I saw him and read the note I thought what a dip! This was nothing to do with racism and he knows it. More like his stupidity.

The note said he wanted to make a withdrawal! I recently had to withdraw a large amount of cash and it was super awkward. Everyone can see and here you. They can see the teller counting the cash. For $12k I would want them to be discreet as well.

I have hated it when I've done that. The banks need to find a way to be more discrete when they are handing out large amounts of cash and I've only ever withdrawn 2k.

Bank: This was 100% our fault.
Police: This was 100% the bank's fault.
Racists on DCUM: Of course it was his fault! Look at him, he's just got that at-fault look about him, I can't quite put my finger on it. I know I'm right, though!

Usually withdrawal slips are not used for such high amounts. You request to speak to the bank manager about the account and go to a private office.

I've worked with corporations in accounting and banks like WF/BOA actually have private business offices where they take high profile clients. These are unidentified SEPARATE facilities from the public walk-in-from-the-street banks that you see publicly identified. Unfortunately if you've never worked in the situation (as a low level financial peon sent to get cash) or come from a wealthy background, you wouldn't know about that either.

exactly. It's another form of white privilege.

Yes a Black pregnant Bank Teller. She fu&ked up. Apparently, she was processing the transaction and some sort of alert popped up on her screen because of the amount. So instead of calling her supervisor over to deal with the alert, she told her supervisor he was robbing the bank. The cops investigated and said she was at fault.

What an idiot.

He's the idiot. Look at the photos.

He should have asked to speak to the bank manager. This wasn't about race.

Making a withdrawal with a withdrawal slip is not idiotic. Asking that the money count not be done loudly in public is not idiotic. Wearing a medical mask (not a bank robber mask) during a pandemic is not idiotic.

He's a client of this bank. He didn't do anything wrong, the teller did.

He didn't even fill out the slip correctly. Give me a break

Np. You are insane. I'd sue the hell out of them.
