Bank tellers do log on when they start work. Most of these scenarios require a unique ID and if they hand over for breaks, they log off and a relief teller will log on with a different ID.
There is generally a "supervisor" override. It used to be a physical key they inserted and the teller software would detect this and elevate a privilege, such as writing out a bank cheque (counter cheque or check for you Yanks). Similar things exist at supermarket checkouts and we would all have had the supervisor come over if you didn't place your item in the bagging area. As for the sysprog/application programmer discus. In the 1970s when I joined the game, sysprog was either a clerical task or a very intense assembler programming task. It could be either, however, IBM had the gurus and the customer followed their best advice.
