They will useally count it right there infront of me but they do it so fast how can I know they haven't made an error? so I will recount it again while standing there just to make sure. None of the bank tellers are offended by this they'd rather me make sure they counted it correctly then for me to go off it not be correct and come back not to happy especially if it's a large amount.

i always count my money right away upon receiving it so that if there's any problem i would just approach the bank teller right away

It is depending up on situation in India they give bundles so which they already sit the amount so we can collect correct money but they give some change of money we need to count it because some times they may make mistake.

If am cashing a check/money order tell counts the money prior to giving it to me and then I recount it before leaving the counter to to rule out any mistakes.
Most of my money goes to direct deposit, so I don't even see it.

I count it while they are counting it out to me and then I stand right there in front of them and recount it to ensure that they counted it correctly. When you are dealing with your money it is always better to be safe and slow than sorry and short money. That's how I look at it.

I count it right there and then, I always check it as soon as possible. So if in-case they went short, then I do have the very to show them the amount they gave me. Also, I have to prepare myself and avoid being spotted by those stupid muggers/robbers as their next victim.

I once got an incorrect amount back when cashing a check, but unlike you, I didn't count it right there. When I came back to inform them, they said I would have to wait until the bank closed and they did the days count. I got my money back, but thank goodness it was only a small amount.

Hello,jer! Before leaving the bank counter we should count and check the money.i normally count the smaller denominations.if it is a bigger amount i never count.instead i ask the paying clerk to put in the counting machine.but we should count because it not only ensures the correctness of the denomination received but also it ensures the genuineness of the notes,there by you will be sure that you have not received any fake note in the bunch.thankx.

The bank i go to the tellers count the money out to you so i count in my head along with them and i make a point to correct their total if it doesnt match mine. At the bank machines i count it right away b/c then if its not what i thought i pushed in i can check my account right away.

The teller always counts the money back when she gives it to me but then I recount it again just to make sure especailly if I have gone to the drive up teller I also count my money right away after I get it from an atm machine to make sure I got what I was suppose to.

nah, i normally ask them to put it into the counting machine and I will see the count result there. It's easier that way, and faster.

i count the money right there just to make sure that i got the correct amount. it's no big deal really. most banks encourage customers to count their money before leaving the counter. this ensures that customers get the right amount. i also do the same when i get my change from restaurants and shops. better to make sure that you get the correct amount of change rather than to leave soon and realize that you've been short-changed.
