A weird thing at my bank in Phoenix made me check my credit report

The teller mentioned a small, weird inquiry I didn't recognize, which turned out to be an error. Has anyone else had a bank employee accidentally tip them off to a problem?

Glad someone was paying attention, that's a lucky catch. @the_piper's story shows how much those little comments matter. Makes you wonder what slips through when people don't speak up.

Honestly, it's wild how often the fix for a broken system comes from a random human catching it. Like when a grocery store cashier spots a weird charge on your card that their own self-checkout machine let through. Or a delivery driver tells you your porch package was left open yesterday, which their own company's tracking said was "secure." The real safety net is just people doing their job and caring enough to say something.

Oh man, that reminds me of a time my pharmacy tech noticed a prescription refill I never asked for. She was just like, "Hey, you picking this up too?" and it was some other patient's meds with my name slapped on it. Total system mix-up.
