Every time I go into wells fargo they won't leave me alone about getting a worthless visa/mastercard debit card from them.

I'm starting to lose my patience with them. Are they getting some king of kickback on this?

All I want is an ATM that requires a PIN to get money out.

who is this king of kickback? i challenge him to a dual to the death.

I hope you aren't *that person* who still writes checks at the grocery store.

Dude, get the debit card. It's much more useful.

And no, they don't get a kickback or commission, but they are required to sign up a certain number of people to be at their expected performance level, and anything above that will help with their raise.

I was a teller in college at Wells Fargo and yes, I got a commission.

My mom still writes checks at the grocery store.

Hell no I don't write checks. I use my credit card. It offers a lot more protection to the consumer than a debit card. Visa/Mastercard debit cards are trash.

I can still use my ATM card to make purchases anyway (I do this at Specs and other places with a debit discount)by using the PIN.

The teller tried to convince me that "like 99% of the time if your card is stolen we put the money back the same day". I know she is just doing her job - so I was polite...

Banking is no longer people sitting behind a desk or in a teller cage taking orders. Now everyone from the head lender down to the student intern have to meet a quota each month for selling services to customers. Not so much the case with the home town bank, but definitely so with the big boys.

what do you get commission on, you're not selling anything?

I was a teller in college at Wells Fargo and no, I did not get a commission. However, they DID push sales like no other financial institution I have worked for, and we did have ambitious sales goals. I want to say that there were incentives, like being entered into a drawing, or being able to wear jeans on Fridays for a quarter if we met them, but there was no commission.

There is one teller at the NG location that I now avoid because she won't drop it. I start the conversation by saying "no I don't want the card" and she keeps on anyway.

I'm old and times were different back in my day.

Commission isn't the correct word, sorry. I got a bonus.

my good friend currently works for wf. they don't get a commission. they have sales quotas to meet that affect their bonuses.

Not commissions, bonuses.

When I was a WF teller in school you had a quota of around 50 closed referral transactions per quarter. After that you got paid a bonus per transaction. It was possible to get alot of scratch for doing that. Getting people with accounts to get a debit card was the easiest.

I used to work at Wells Fargo in college, and they gave me hookers, blow, and a car.
