After a brief period of silence, the old lady returned her card to the cashier and pleaded, “Please help me withdraw all the money I have.” When she checked the balance of the account, the teller was surprised. She gave her a respectful nod, leaned down, and said, “You have $300,000 in your account, but the bank doesn’t have that much cash at the moment.” Could you please schedule a time to return tomorrow?
The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. She was told anything up to $3,000 by the teller. “Give me $3,000 right now.” With a warm smile on her face, the teller graciously gave her $3,000.
The Elderly woman put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to put $2,990 back into her account.
