Being honest got me the brick hassle free and hopefully will help me keep a connection at the bank.
Well that was short lived Here's what happened with my first experiences brick searching.
The first brick my bank gave me was 10 bundles of really, really, circulated bills (no charge). I found a 4 digit radar, two birthday notes and 6 or 7 shoulder notes so it was a fun experience, but nothing was in good condition.
The second time I ordered a brick I got 2 brand new bundles - $1000, not 1000 bills, and I found nothing. Not such a fun experience, especially after the anticipation built up over a few days of waiting.
I placed another order yesterday and today the bank manager called me to say it would be the last time they'd order me any new cash. She said the cost of security dropping off and picking up the bills was too high for the branch to be able to make this a regular thing
Let's see if I get a real, new brick on monday. I really, really want one but my prospects don't look good...
