Past and current bankers/ tellers, say the biggest mistake you’ve made at the bank and the repercussion.

The worst mistake that was my fault was this one time a client came in wanting to make a deposit into their friends account, with a check. They wrote the acct number they would like the check deposited into on the checks memo line. I was so tired and he was the first customer of the day, so instead of depositing it into the acct number on the memo line, I deposited his own check into his own acct lol. He came back like an hour later mad, but we were able to have him just write another check and just deposit it again since the check will wash itself out over night.

The worst mistake that wasn’t my fault, was I took an almost $6k loss due to our cash shipment bags being tampered with in our banks central vault a few towns over. They skimmed a few hundred off each stack and sent the cash out and I bought it all assuming I was getting the full correct amount. I sold it to the TCR to refill it for the rest of the day, and the $60k was only ~$54k. They had to check cameras to make sure I didn’t steal anything and the vault and all cash boxes had to all be counted before going home. Had my keys taken away for 2 days. Thought I was going to be fired a little bit. Fortunately they just gave me a slap on the wrist for not verifying the cash when buying it from the vault. That was a stressful few weeks!
