We love dogs at the bank where I work. We have customers who bring their dogs just so that we can see them. Our customers ask about our dogs to, I keep pictures in my desk to show my baby off. We keep dog bones to give out that we pay for ourselves, it's not supplied by the bank. We pride ourselves on being a community bank and we get to knowing our customers so well that we feel we know them personally. Our customers love us to give their babies attention as much as we love to give it. Especially yorkies, two of us there have yorkies so we get very excited when we see them. But I have to say the teller should have been able to tell by your body language that you weren't open to her picking up your dog especially since you didn't hand her over on the tellers first attempt to pick her up. We have had customers bring their dog in and we can tell just by the way they respond to us that it's not that they don't trust us they would rather not. In my opinion the customer has the right to feel that she doesn't want her dog touched, and that should be respected. I hope the teller didn't mean anything, just didn't realize how you felt and I hope that I never unintentionally did that to someone without realizing.
