Notes: I didn't have my debit card with me today, so I stopped in at my bank before lunch to make a withdrawal. For some reason, there were no deposit and withdrawal slips in the stack, only resguardos de depósito y retiro. Only one teller looked Hispanic, but I figured if the Midwestern blonds working alongside him couldn't decipher the form, they'd ask for help. Of course, to notice it was in Spanish, they'd actually have to read it and this was not my teller's strong suit. She made a frowny face and asked me to spell my name again. I did, and then added: "Try it under 'von'."

As I discovered later, she didn't; she tried it under "Bond" even though "von" was right there on the form. Then she asked me for my debit card. Of course, if I'd had that with me, I wouldn't've been talking to her, would I've? "Can't you look it up with my Social?" I asked. "We can, but we prefer not to ask a customer for that if we don't need to." "But it's on the form. I filled it out." Cue bafflement, and a yelled inquiry to a coworker.

Ruben prefers sacar to take out money whether or not the cajero is a person or a machine.
