A Bank Clerk Who Deserves Respect

by Ya Li Fan

In mid-June of 2024 my friend took me to Truist bank to help me open an account. We were greeted by a young man whose name was ——- ——–. He told us that he had been to China when he was six years old. Naturally, this made a good impression on me, since I am Chinese. The young bank teller processed a temporary card for me, good for a month. He told me it would take a month for my permanent card to be issued.

Time flies, and the month passed quickly. Because my English is not good, I often ignore the calls I receive on my cell phone, since I have a hard time understanding people when they call me. One day in August as I was hurriedly walking past a bank, when I heard someone calling my name! I turned, and saw this same bank teller running after me. He had seen me through the bank window as I was going by, and hurried out to stop me. He informed me, half out of breath, that my permanent bank card was ready. He quickly returned to the bank and replaced my temporary card with the new one.

Although perhaps a small matter, it reflects the first class attitude of this young bank teller, and I admire him very much for his kindness.

From these two small things, we can see that if every employee, working in every position does everything responsibly, then our social environment will be much improved.
