Fuck you, teller at Fidelity Investments on Congress Street. My boss has asked me to bring some checks there for deposit, as I have often done. I hand them over to you, Mr. Teller, paper-clipped to the deposit slip that my boss signed, and say, "Hi. I'd like to make a deposit, please." Your response?

"Well, look at you!"

My goodness, you really are a condescending little shit, aren't you! Just because I'm a youngish woman dressed in business casual attire instead of a middle-aged man in a business suit, you act like I'm a dog that's done a trick. Actually, I doubt you'd have said that even to a guy my age dressed in business casual attire.

I hope that when Administrative Professionals Day comes around, you suddenly start having problems getting anything organized, can't keep your meeting times straight, fuck up when booking your next vacation and get screwed out of a lot of money as a result, spill your coffee when you try to make it in the morning, can't find anything you swear you filed away in a safe place, and lose all sorts of important contact information for people who will be very angry when they don't hear from you.

Bite me.

Yeah, I'd have snapped at him, but I didn't want to be out of the office any longer than I had to.

Not really important enough. Just an annoying twit.

Well, look at you!

-Um, are you sure you know what he meant? You say you've often gone there for a deposit. Has anything else about you changed over that time period? Like, is your hair a different color than it was the last time he served you?

Well, I've been there often enough, but not regularly. Usually it's the other admin who does the banking. I go whenever she's out or very busy...it amounts to maybe once a month. Nothing has changed about me in the last month. Also, he didn't seem to recognize me when I came in. I get served by a lot of different people there.

"Um, are you sure you know what he meant?"

Yyyyeah... Are you sure it wasn't some lame attempt to flirt or chat a bit?

Perhaps knowing the tone would help with the context.

Nope, it was quite clearly a reaction to the neatly clipped and organized stuff I was handing him, and it was like he was patting me on the head for being so clever as to have it all neat and ready for him.

What a dick.

If it were me, I'd put word out far and wide and maybe even suggest my boss pull his/her business due to bad customer service.

I'm a bitch like that. ;)

I just don't think it's a big enough deal. I'll cheerfully bitch about something like this to my friends, but it honestly doesn't cause me enough problems to bother making a fuss about it. It's not like it's something I've had to deal with on a regular basis there. If I go back and the guy makes another condescending comment, I'll probably give him some kind of a comeback: "Well, look at you!" "Look at what, exactly?" Just to sort of put him on the spot and throw him a bit off-balance?

I know.

You have a good point. I just have a far lower tolerance for assholish behavior. And the patience of a gnat...with a toothache. ;)

LOL...do gnats have teeth?

Re: I know.

LOL! I don't think so. Just thought it sounded funny! xP

I'm sorry to hear about what happened. If you want to I can mention something to the manager for you.
