Is it only me that think that Banks aren’t what they use to be?

I use to think of a bank as a friendly palce and they will count your loose change and deposit it. Not so today. If you bring plenny loose change, dey tell you go use da machine in the supermarket to get it converted. Huh?

One timeI was at a supermarket branch bank and this little ole lady in front of me one time had a bag of coins and she wanted to deposit it. They directed her to go to the machine that does that. Poor thing had hard time just walking to the tellers window, they going make her walk back and forth some moe. How rude. I think they should have just count her money. But thats me. Maybe its against bank policy to count loose change now, I dunno.

Banks ain’t what they use to be, are they? Or is it just me. Maybe I’m not what I use to be. Well yeah thats true but thats beside the point. I don’t take your money. I could, if you give it to me. I am not a Bank. Far from it. I wish.

Banks nowadays will nickle and dime you to death. Except it ain’t no nickel or dime no moe, its a dollar here, two dollars there. $4.oo if you don’t keep our balance at more then a dollar or woteva da minimum is. Banks use keep money for you anden wen you want it you go get it.

I find it strange that they ask for my ID when I want to make a deposit into my account. I’m like if anybody wants to put money in my account, JUST LET THEM. Its people who like take money out of my account you gotta beware of. Even ME, I shouldn’t be touching that money, but hudhead dorono how fo’live within my own means sometimes, you know. *L*

Banking is way different from the neighborhood bank of back in da days. Bank when you knew who worked there and the workers knew you or your ohana. Maybe its just me and I live in this large metropolis and the banks look like they all employ kids. Even the boss lady look like juss outta college. I guess its me and my makule-ness.

True story: This morning I went to the bank to close an account. The teller asked me ‘HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT CASH?’ Duh, lolo me had to think a second, dis one trick question I think…..Ummmm “Just plain cash will do?” She goes “Ok thats easy.”

Was she meaning denominations? Becuase it wasn’t a large amount and regardless of the demoninations she gave me it was gonna get spent in one place.

*L* I’m still pondering that one. If I want cash, how else can I get cash except just in cash?*L*
