An old woman handed her bank card to the teller and said,
“I would like to withdraw $10.”

The teller replied politely, “For withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM.”

The old woman frowned. “But I need it now, and I don’t use those new-fangled machines. Please help me.”

The teller, now a little impatient, said, “Rules are rules, ma’am. If you need less than $100, the ATM is the way to go.”

The old woman quietly took back her card, then handed it right back and said,
“Fine. I’d like to withdraw $2,000, please.”

The teller’s eyes widened. “Certainly, ma’am. One moment.” She counted out twenty $100 bills and handed them over.

The old woman calmly took ten dollars, tucked it into her purse, and handed the remaining $1,990 back across the counter.

“Deposit this back into my account, dear,” she said with a smile. “And next time, please don’t argue with old folks. We didn’t survive this long by being pushovers.”

The teller just stared, and a guy in line behind her whispered,
“I think I just saw a legend being born.”
