First time I’ve ever been threatened by a bank teller

Today, we went to First Horizon Bank located in Lake Mary to close an account . Upon entering, there was one woman working in an office, one woman behind the teller counter and one woman leaning against the customer section of the teller counter. After a moment, the woman in front of the teller counter turned and asked us if she could help us. She was dressed in a workout pants, a sweatband and a top. I said that I didn’t realize that she worked there, and she gave me a dirty look and moved to her desk. She waited on two gentlemen who had been there before us and had been waiting for her to finish gossiping with the teller, and then called out for the person who wanted to close the account. She did not get up and greet us at any time. We went to her desk and requested an account be closed. She  pulled up the account and said that there was no paperwork that we were authorized to close the account. We asked her to look at the paperwork already on file, which was with Iberia bank before First Horizon purchased it, and she said there was no paperwork there. We asked her to call someone and find out what the process was. She called someone at the corporate office who supposedly validated what she was thinking. By this point, we were convinced that we had already provided all the paperwork necessary to do this transaction, and felt that the corporate office should have been able to find the paperwork. They said they could  not find it. The  bank worker in front of us first said that she couldn’t put the call on speakerphone, but then magically learned how do it. She invited us to speak and one of us got up to get closer to the phone and started to talk to the person at the other end of the line. When it appeared that we were not going to be able to resolve the situation, she must have decided  that she wanted out of the situation and said that we  were suddenly in her personal space and pretended that she was offended in some way. She had not been nice to us up to this point, and we were beginning to wonder at the motive. I turned around and saw that the teller was coming from behind the teller gate and was concerned but not unduly so. I stepped out of the desk area to meet her and I asked her if she was there to help. She said no she was there to make sure that her coworker’s personal space was not being invaded. I asked her if I was invading her personal space at this point. She said no, then she threatened to call the police, and I realized that her motive was to intimidate. The teller started to laugh and shouted that she was going to call the police. I was frightened that she would take additional physical steps towards me and backed away. She laughed again, which validated my fears. At this point we realized we dealing with the irrational duo and left the bank. At no point did the woman in the office get involved.  Apparently the situation didn’t concern her.  We returned home and called the bank (not the branch). They offered to complete the transaction.
The actions of the employees at the Lake Mary branch of First Horizon Bank were shameful. They apparently did not have a firm grasp of bank policy or customer service skills. The bank needs to rethink letting an untrained person be “in charge” without a strong skill set .

They won’t make it. This bank in Fort Myers use to be TIB Bank bought out twice. Last buyer is Horizon. They should change the name to sunset bank. Go to Lake Michigan Credit Union at Gulf Town Center. Paying 3% on checking. Horizon pays 0.07. Which is nothing. Charged my wife $12 a month to keep her money in back. She was a long time customer from TIB Bank and had a healthy balance. Never got interest but kept her account in good standing with zero use. She just parked her money there. She closed it out. They made no attempt to keep a valued customer. They don’t care. The clerk even said she keeps her account at Bank of America. That tells me a lot. She works there and doesn’t trust her bank where she works at.

My husband is a physician. We have purchased many houses both for residences and investments.  We found First Tennessee by a former client that gave First Tennessee thumbs up.  This was much better: faster, less paperwork, streamline business with the bank rather than a traditional mortgage company.

I rated this bank as poor because there isn't a lower rating. DO NOT GO TO THIS BANK. They made a mistake that cost my family member more than One Hundred and Five Thousand Dollars and they now refuse to discuss the issue with anyone. Can't believe it? I can prove it. The branch is irrelevant,stay away from this bank at all cost.

I have been with First TN bank for about 3 years now...I went in for an auto loan which is a pretty exciting experience. After giving all my info..I was never called back to say if I was approved or denied..when I called to find out..they had no clue who I was..I got an awesome auto loan somewhere else. I also went in to try to cash a check for a client of mine who was with me. They denied us. Again..I went to another bank and they cashed it with no problems...it's sad that I have to go thru other banks and get denied by my own...I may switch soon!

After 11 years at the same branch and yet they never remembered my name or appeared to recognize me at all, I went in to make a sizable withdrawal. Rec'd a lecture from the idiot teller about how they might run out of money and I should give them notice. I know it's a tough concept but I'll say it slowly... it's...my...money...moron.

To Iskabibble obviously you live in a cave. Have you never heard of bank robberies? Branches only keep on hand amounts that records show are the average amounts used on a daily basis so if robbed it limits the amount lost. If they are going to need over that amount that exceeds the amount generally needed they when given notice are more than happy to have the extra on hand for you. No I don’t work for a bank just a person with a brain.
you have a nice branch but a big problem

Kaytie Oldham, one of your tellers gives very good service but I have observed her boss Annette berate her in front of customers and staff. I don't think this is appropriate, otherwise the branch is very nice to deal with.

In 2007, someone used my account and bought clothes online for about $400. I talked to the bank and they turned me away.

I absolutely love First Tennessee Bank. Currently I have five accounts (getting ready to open another one). Nicole and everyone at Metrocenter are so kind and are always watching out for my best interest by advising me of new accounts that can benefit me both currently and in the future. Nicole has even called to remind me of accounts that I needed to open by a certain date to access a certain rate. She is fabulous and has literally helped me financially and guided me to a more secure future. FTB employees are really there to help the customer. They aren't the type of bank that only cares about profit and where customers are only a number. They know the true meaning of keeping a customer for life.
I wouldn't bank anywhere else and I truly mean that.

I am not sure what bur the other reviewer was sitting on, but I have been banking with this branch for 3 years. Some of the nicest, most helpful people I have worked with. I have personal business as well as a non profit that I run through this branch, and they have been the BEST bank I have worked with in my 40 years of dealing with banks. I would highly recommend this staff and the services they provide. Excellent!

This bank is horrific.  I complained to the regional manager and now they are closing our non profit accounts causing us an interruption in business with unncessary expenses for reprinting of checks and deposit slips.  No one would actively address the issues I am having.  This is the worst bank I have ever dealt with
