OT: Why do they give lollipops out at the bank? Anyone have a clue?

It mirrors their customers. People who invest money there are suckers.
Because they're worth more than either the blender they gave when you opened your account in the 1980's and the 0% interest your currently earning.
I remember this vividly from when I was a kid. Went into the bank with my mother, I guess I was 5 or 6, tops. I get a sucker from the teller. We're leaving and I wanted to eat the sucker and Mom ix-nayed the lollipop consumption, and said no way. She admonished me that they were bad for my teeth.
I said "Then why does the bank hand them out?"
She said "Because the bank doesn't care about your teeth."
So pretty much all my life now, whenever I hear about banks and what's going on with the banking business and so forth, I always keep in mind that no matter what happens, they don't care about my teeth.

Part of the deal with the Government bail-out of the big banks in 2008 was that the banks would offer customers lollipops and dog treats.
Are customers allowed a choice between the two, or is it at the discretion of the teller as to which comp would be more appropriate?
Yes, because paper sticks with a 100% sugar topping will certainly accomplish keeping kids quiet.
LOL...they will until later when the sugar kicks in. Just enough time to make a deposit with cash back!
