That is just inexcusable. As me ol' Daddy used to say, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." That the teller could unlock the deposit when you physically presented yourself and she (he?) noticed this state of affairs suggests a little courteous negotiation might have unlocked the money sooner. Failing that, a quiet threat to complain the the federal banking commission probably would have done the job. Moral sub-2 of the story: Don't be shy about asking financial institutions to cut you some slack. Often they will. Arrghhhh! That is just inexcusable.

Glad you got your rent paid on time. Those of us not born into the computer age already know that you should make friends (in person) with the people who handle your money.
