Date: Mon, 09 Aug 2004 17:49:24 -0400 Subject: Fifth Third Bank I have been a Fifth Third banking customer for several years. Recently I went to our local drive-thru to cash a check for $1500. I was met with a sign that stated that the cashback limit at the drive-thru was $1000 and to "please visit our lobby for transactions greater than $1000 cashback." When I parked and walked to the lobby door I was met with another sign that said that I could not enter while armed for self-defense. I had a choice, to risk leaving defenseless with $1500 cash in a Criminal Protection Zone or, do what I did, make two visits to the drive-thru for $750 each... Annoyed, I wrote to the Customer Service Department about this problem and below is the form letter response I got from someone who wouldn't even give their last name to a bank customer.
