Bank Teller: Can I help you?
Antonio: Yes, I’d like to deposit this check.
Bank Teller: Please fill out a deposit slip and be sure to endorse the check on the back.
Antonio: Here you are. I’ve already filled out a slip and signed the check. I’d also like to cash this other check.
Bank Teller: Sure, I can help you with that. Here you are. Here’s a receipt for your deposit and I’ve cashed your check. Let me count out your $100: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.
Antonio: Thanks. Could I also check my bank balance for my other account?
Bank Teller: No problem. You just have to swipe your ATM card and enter your PIN. It looks like you have a balance of $1,752. Will that be all?
Antonio: Oh, I have that much? I’d like to withdraw $80.
Bank Teller: All right. You’ll need to fill out a withdrawal slip. Why don’t you step aside while you do that so I can help the next customer, and when you’re done, come back to this window and I’ll help you.
Antonio: Okay, I’ll do that. And if I want to transfer money between accounts?
Bank Teller: You’ll need to fill out a withdrawal slip for the first account and a deposit slip for the second.
Antonio: Got it. This might take awhile.
Bank Teller: No problem, sir. We’re here all day – at least until 5:00.
