That's good advice. I am way behind on reading your posts! Hopefully today I'll have some time. Thank you for stopping by my blogs.

I saw a TV film only recently where the plot was based exactly on that - a burglary committed because someone behind in the queue at the bank had seen all the personal details. Stick to your guns however Sarah smirks!

I hope that there weren’t any cat burglars, standing in line that overheard your address? Of course there weren’t at that time. But, the writing down of your social security number’s a good idea. Certainly identity theft’s common and a legitimate fear. Excellent! You come from a family with a sense of business. Sarah understands. You’ll see. 201KBC-A, Bill’s RJLst

FSI -IMHO, I would clear up the issue with her as since you are a longstanding customer of the bank, each time you go in, the smirk on her face might just irritate you and then you know how it works..one thing after another. You however do not owe her any explanation.Thank you for stopping by my blog and I'm glad you liked the quote. I rather like it now too.

Sarah doesn't sound very professional.  I wouldn't worry about what she thought.
She needs to savvy up.

I dont think you owe her any explanation
obviously you would not write your social security number down for someone you dont trust. If she can not be professional about business it is not your problem or concern. I say forget about it. You did the right thing. You just can not be too careful these days about social security and sensetive information. I for one am proud of yous standing up for your privacy

SFI
I completely agree with Malcolm! And in Canada you don't have to give your social insurance # to anyone - well, maybe to some people, but certainly not to the bank...

Re: kwentuhero
I'm not sure if our social security numbers come in card forms or not. I've never looked into it. I have to put that on my to do list.

She should have realized immediately that you did not want to say it aloud! sam

You are entitled to be discreet. I think her response was somewhat surprising and not exactly courteous.

Does this security is not a card? So instead of telling, card will be shown.

I'm cautious about handing out "identity" type numbers as well.  Maybe the teller didn't take it personally.....
