Wow. I would have asked to speak to the supervisor. Once I got that person, I would have asked how much I needed to pay for the sucker, so I wouldn't get chewed out a by a teller. I guarantee the teller would have been sorry. The chew-out would have happened after you left. Teller needs a hard lesson in customer service.
Hah- I would have taken that one and then reached in and taken another one " for the road".
One of my local banks also has a variety of jars of candies out on the inside counters. Most of the time, it's adults taking them. Kids are usually at the drive up window in a car with mom.

Mountain out of a molehill.
My grown daughter always gets a blue dum-dum from the bank. Although she always asks if it's OK first, so maybe manners make a difference.
If there is candy in an open container anyplace within reach, I'm taking it. That is an unwritten rule of the Universe. If that teller would have said that to me, I would have asked for a withdrawal slip and told her perhaps my NEW bank will be nicer.
I would have just asked to speak to her supervisor...NOW.
Absolutely !! I would have walked right over to one of the managers in their little offices and had a discussion with them about her comment. Sorry, I don't treat customers that way at my job and will not tolerate it when I am the customer either.
You should call the manager now and get it off your chest.
Wow, that was rude of the teller. For all she knew, your spouse was waiting with the kid in the car, and you'd promised to bring the kid a dum-dum.
I read in a Miss Manners column several years ago that if the candy dish was on the visitor's/customer's side of the desk/table, it meant "Help yourself." So you did nothing wrong.

Don
I think the OP should. Look at it this way - that teller is obviously clueless about customer service. You will be doing the bank a favor. Otherwise they could lose accounts and not know why - nor what she is doing.
What a tragedy, Taking a free lollipop from a bank that holds tens of millions of dollars. Their entire empire is in danger of collapse now. Treachery!
Seriously, That was a dumb move on her part. Clearly lacking customer service skills.
Maybe you should have asked the teller if you were too old to have an account there too.
LOL...great comeback!
