Banks

Banks make me nervous. I haven't been in one for years. That's what ATM's are for. I also utilize the phone system and internet. Today - I had to walk in a bank. TWICE!

no way you say....

YES WAY!!!

Banks are not as stuffy as I remember them. They used to be very formal. You had a line that inched toward tellers (all dressed nicely) behind huge panes of glass and paneling. The person that sat at the desk in the corner was dressed in a three piece suit and always seemed to peer at you over their glasses.

Now - they wear uniforms. Matching shirts and slacks that look like I have entered Casual Friday at a regular business. The guy behind the desk. No glasses and get this..SMILING!


no way you say....

YES WAY!!!

One of my major concerns was that a bank robber would come in an jump the counter and empty my vault-o-money before my very eyes. But - they can no longer do that. There are no counters. They are in pods. Little podiums - with little room to write, much less jump on top of.

Get this - they no longer have bank drawers. The money comes out of this mini ATM machine attached to the pod. Change is given from a recepticle that reminds me of an old cash register.

no way you say.....

YES WAY!!!

I still prefer my method of banking now. I don't miss the actually having to deal with eeekkk...tellers.

But it's kinder and friendlier than I remember.

no way you say....

YES WAY!!!
