Ever wonder how exciting the life of a Bank Teller is?
Yes I have! Bank tellers are considered the front line in the banking business as the are the ones who interact with customers

The number of tellers in the United States increased from approximately 300,000 in 1970 to approximately 600,000 in 2010.

Bank teller
A bank teller (often abbreviated to simply teller) is an employee of a bank who deals directly with customers. In some places, this employee is known as a cashier or customer representative. Most teller jobs require experience with handling cash and a high school diploma. Most banks provide on-the-job training.
Tellers are considered a "front line" in the banking business because they are typically the first people a customer sees at the bank.
