Dutch Bank Payback
I needed a new cash card, you can order them here without changing your PIN but you need to go to a branch to do it. So I was waiting in line too order the new card and a Dutch guy walks up to the head of the queue and the teller starts to serve him. It happens a lot here, queue jumping, it annoys the hell out of me. This time I lose the plot and follow him and point out other people were here first, the teller was not happy. Causing a scene is a far worse sin than a bit of queue jumping.

The guy backs off, we get served in turn I place my order and 3 days later I get my nice new card. To use your card you need to activate it. You can do it at an ATM but for no reason I go back to the bank. Same teller as before. Me “ Can you activate my card please,“ she takes the card click, click she checks my details, her “ have you got you new pin number I ordered for you when you were in the last time?“ I looked at her, she smiled we both new I hadn't ordered a new pin and it would take another 5 days for it to arrive. Payback is a bitch.

The cashier had her revenge for the customer making a 'scene'
by not sending the new PIN straight away, so that the customer couldn't use the card for nearly a week.

Thanks
I think I need to edit my post a bit. You can order a new card here without a PIN change, your new card comes loaded with your old PIN. She ordered both when I went in the first time knowing my new card with be useless until the new PIN arrived. It takes only 3 to 4 days for a new card to arrive but 7 to 10 days for the new PIN to arrive. Result, leaving me without cash for 8 days instead of 3.
