At this time, more people were put on staff. In addition, as with a supermarket, lines can be changed from only one transaction to several transactions allowed. The video helped better clarify the best time to have extra windows open for single transactions. Customers hate waiting for someone who has several transactions, if they do not have the same. Similarly, they do not like waiting for longer services, such as counting store money or requesting a bank order. This is a separate window that is kept open at peak times, with the teller floating elsewhere when not needed. Neither employees nor customers like when the bank teller goes back and forth between the drive up and the inside windows.

There may be more or less tolerance for waiting periods and a different demand for services, as well, depending on where the branch is located.

The customer service and information desk has been very successful. In the past, customers had to wait to see an officer to ask certain questions. If there was someone or more before, then it was a wait. The customer service rep can answer most questions and get some of the paper work started before seeing the officer in charge. These reps are also trained to respond to any questions regarding service and to accept and write complaints. Customers who come in regularly during the week with several transactions or longer ones are given their own personal service rep to speed time. Granted, none of these changes was earth shattering, but all together they made a major impact......
