Getting help at the bank

  • Assistant: Can I help you?
  • Customer:  Oh hi, I just want to deposit this cheque and some cash, but I wasn't sure how to fill out the slip, so I’ve only done half of it.
  • Assistant:   Okay. Let's see. How much cash did you want to deposit?
  • Customer: Five hundred dollars.
  • Assistant: And this cheque is for two hundred and thirty seven.
  • Customer: Yep.
  • Assistant: Okay, the drawer of the cheque goes here and the bank and branch here.
  • Customer: Mmmm, that's the part I didn't understand.
  • Assistant: The drawer of the cheque is the person or company who gave you the cheque.
  • Customer: Ah.
  • Assistant: In this case it's Smith's Fine Foods-
  • Customer: Mm.
  • Assistant: Now, that goes here.
  • Customer: Mm.
  • Assistant: And the bank which issued the cheque goes here with the branch name there.
  • Customer: Right.
  • Assistant: Now, just add it up and put the total here.
  • Customer: Oh, thanks for that.  I should be right next time.
  • Assistant: Not a problem.  I'll put it through for you.
  • Customer: Thanks.
