An elderly mother wanted to give her grandson ten bucks as a Christmas gift. So she went to her local bank and made a withdrawal. The elderly lady presented her bankcard to the teller and stated, “I would like to withdraw $10.” The teller instructed her, “For withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM.” The elderly lady wanted to know why.

The teller returned her bank card and irritably stated, “These are the rules; please leave if there is no further issue. “There is a line of customers behind you.” The old lady remained silent for a few seconds before returning her card to the teller and said, “Please assist me in withdrawing all of the money I have.” The teller was taken aback when she checked the account amount.

She nodded, leaned down, and told her nicely, “You have $300,000 in your account, but the bank does not have that much cash right now. Could you make an appointment and come back tomorrow?” The old lady then inquired as to how much she could remove immediately. The teller told her she may have any amount up to $3,000.

“Well please let me have $3000 now.” With a nice grin, the teller handed her $3000. The elderly lady put $10 in her handbag and replied, “Please deposit this $2990 back into my account.”
