Border Banks: are they spies?

I withdrew $12,000 at a US Bank branch on the US/Canada Border and the bank teller asked me some really strange questions! She got this super frowny face and refused to do it at first, and asked about my social security number, employment, etc. It's like I was being interviewed by border patrol.

I have never had this experience at a US Bank before. Does anyone know if US Bank works with Canadian law enforcement? Do they have LEOs or informants working as tellers?

I'm mostly just curious. I'm not up to anything nefarious, and I don't have a criminal history, so I was a bit confused. Thank you!

Google Pay says my phone is rooted after being inspected by Canada Border Patrol. None of my credit cards or secure apps will work.

I haven't done anything, haven't installed any apps or made any changes. This phone was $2000, how do I get border patrol to pay for the replacement?

I know everyone wants to be supportive of the brewery because it's a local business, it employs a lot of people, it brings a lot of tourism, and it's cool. Beer is cool.

And astorian citizens are polite, accommodating, and wouldn't say anything. Even if it was driving then absolutely insane.

So, I'll do it. I'll say something.

That brewery is a full on industrial process, happening in the middle of a residential neighborhood and wildlife area.

It offgasses byproducts from this industrial process into the air, as pollution, with clearly no filtration or mitigation.

Bad smells are pollution, guys. I don't care if it's acid fumes that will melt your lungs, or beer smells that melt down your property values.

I know it's deeply expensive to fix it.

It's worth it. Please do it. Please fix it as soon as possible. You're making a mistake.

Thank you.
