Complaint:
I went to the Bank of America on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX at XXXX today, XXXX/XXXX/2016. 
My mom and my sister double counted the cash I was depositing right before I went into the bank, it totaled {$10000.00}. We have counted and triple checked the amount was correct. When I got to the teller to deposit, I told the teller ( Tlr XXXX ) I am depositing {$10000.00} and gave her the deposit slip. Then I gave her XXXX envelopes, each containing {$5000.00} each. The white envelope had paperclips, each paperclip totaled {$1000.00}. 
1st paper clip : XXXX x {$100.00} 2nd paper clip : XXXX x {$100.00} 3rd paper clip : ( XXXX x {$20.00} ) + ( XXXX x {$10.00} ) + XXXX ( x {$50.00} ) 4th paper clip : XXXX x {$100.00} 5th paper clip : ( XXXX x {$50.00} ) + ( XXXX x {$20.00} ) + ( XXXX x {$10.00} ) + ( XXXX x {$100.00} ) The yellow envelope had a rubber band around all the XXXX x {$100.00} bills. The teller took out all the cash from the envelopes and separated the money. She separated by different bill amounts, {$100.00}, {$50.00}, {$20.00}, and {$10.00}. I could n't really see what she was doing behind the counter. I had to look over to the machine to see it was {$9600.00} before she said anything and then I asked her, it 's short? And she said yes, it 's {$9600.00} instead of {$10000.00}, I became concerned and called my mom. And I asked her to run it by the machine again. I leaned over to look and she separated the bills and let the machine count each {$100.00}, then she added the {$50.00} and {$20.00}, etc., counting each bill separately which I found weird. I can barely hear her speak, I had to ask her what she said two times. 
She asked me to change the number on my deposit slip and to initial it. I could n't help but think where did the {$370.00} disappear to?! We had counted it over 10 times, by XXXX different people right before going to the teller. Everything was in the envelope and inside my fanny pack that never left my body, and it added up to {$10000.00}. I left the bank thinking maybe it 's at home?? I would 've never thought it could possibly be the teller stealing. Then maybe it could be the machine that counted incorrectly. I called the bank and a lady named XXXX stated to call back at XXXX XXXX or they will call me back when they have counted their 'drawers '. XXXX XXXX came, and XXXX called me stating the cash were counted correctly to the transaction, matching the amount in their system. 
Then that 's when I started thinking what if the teller had taken the money, it would n't be in the drawer. I started googling instances where teller would steal the deposit money and a lot of the situations came up and XXXX in XXXX where a teller working at XXXX XXXX was arrested for. I started to worry and I 'm afraid that branch would not assist any further especially when I was accusing the teller of stealing. I wanted them to look at the surveillance camera. Please help to look into this Bank of America branch, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Thank you
