  I do very little banking outside of the ATM, but I've never had an issue with the bank before. However, today I stopped at the window of the Mt. Pleasant Town Center branch just to get a small check cashed. I gave the teller my Checking Card and I.D. and although there were no other cars, she took an inordinately long time staring at my information and typing. As if she were doing a background check. Finally she speaks up and says "Oh, sorry I can't cash this, it's written out for the 31st." "No, actually it's the 21st." "Oh, well, I guess I can see that," she replies but still has not cashed the check. After 30 more seconds of her saying and doing nothing, I finally say: "It also has "For EASTER" written on the check." (How she missed this detail while staring at it for so long is a mystery). "Oh yeah, it does. Well... I guess we can accept it," she says staring at me blankly. FINALLY she cashes it, tersely tells me to have a nice day and gives me a single $50 bill (when I wanted smaller bills, but by now I'm too annoyed to bother asking again). While it may seem minor, I compare it to the times cashed checks at the Coleman Branch and the entire transaction is over within a minute, The tellers there are always genuinely friendly. And just for the record, I've had either a Savings or Checking account with First Federal/South State since I was 6 years old. So this rude behavior was unexpected and most unappreciated.

  Been customers over 30 years. Excellent service, great management. Professional and personable to everyone even jerks and idiots. I've observed them deal professionally with difficult customers, drunks and stoners. Some folks don't get that if you write bad checks you gotta pay and if you're over your limit your card is turned off. Eileen Thames is a true asset to the organization.

  I opened an account with them and they did not explain how bank to bank transfers worked and was misinformed. I wish they would have explain how their bank operated and had a staff that had more knowledge. In addition, I was told I was going to get checks sent for $25.00, never sent the checks and had to follow up twice to get them. Not a good bank at all.

  A particular teller, middle age white lady. She likes to enforce the no hat rule, only when she sees you as threat. I can't stand the white staff working here. I would never bank with them.

  With 3 family members being retired bankers it should speak volumes that most banking is with South State. I love them
