An argument between a man and staff at a bank in China led to an unexpected result. According to reports, the man withdrew millions from his account after an argument and forced staff to manually count the cash. While the man claimed he did so after receiving poor service, the bank said it all started when customers were asked to wear a mask.
It took two bank tellers about two hours to count the cash (representative picture). (Remove splash)
What did the man claim?
The man, who goes by the name ‘Sunwear’ online, took to Chinese social networking platform Weibo to share his side of the story, Business Insider reports. He claimed he got into an argument with security guards at a bank in Shanghai and received the ‘worst customer service ever’. He then withdrew about five million renminbi ($783,000) in cash and asked the bank to count it all by hand. It took the group of counters about two hours to complete the counting.
What did the bank say about the disagreement?
The bank claimed in a statement that the disagreement began after the customer refused to follow their COVID-19 protocols and wear a mask.
Sunwear reached out to Weibo again and shared that he had forgotten his mask on that particular day and was looking for a spare. He also insisted that he never refused to wear it.
What happened after the incident?
After the disagreement, pictures of piles of money and suitcases went viral. The photos also made it to X. One individual shared the images on the microblogging platform with a caption that briefly explained the incident.
“This week in Shanghai, China, a millionaire named ‘Sunwear’ withdrew his entire savings of 5 million yuan and ordered bank staff to count each note. All because they asked him to wear a face mask. Then he put the money in the suitcases and left,” user X wrote.

How did internet users react to this incident?
Since it was posted on October 25, the tweet has garnered a ton of comments. “It’s not savage at all. Employees are just doing their job. It makes the wrong people suffer by asking them to count it. Just pull it and move on,” user X wrote. “Maybe it’s just easier to wear a mask. Employees are just following the rules,” another chimed in. “My hero,” wrote a third.
