And I appreciate your consternation about your attempt to get your grandson's money counted! I was stunned the other day when I went to my credit union to get a fresh looking fifty dollar bill to put in a 50th wedding anniversary gift and the teller said she had no control on choosing because she typed in the amount and a machine spewed out the money like an ATM would! She did however ask if I was satisfied with the look of the bill, and I was. Whew!Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253212297341074368.post-86072278745349233782018-10-10T22:30:06.244-07:002018-10-10T22:30:06.244-07:00We lost our loyal, local bank about 10 years ago, ...We lost our loyal, local bank about 10 years ago, here in our little town. It moved to the city, 40 minutes away. It makes it hard to bank because if you receive a check or need to withdraw cash, it is an ordeal. All the banks want you to go on-line, but then you have to worry about getting hacked. There is no happy medium. I think every place of employment has its scandals, not just banks.... I worked for the school district for a few years and they were the worst! It all seems so funny now, like the 'Harper Valley PTA', but at the time it was so scandalous!

Banks here in the UK do not listen to customers. Everything is automated self-service and there are few cashiers - just a couple of people hanging around to advise if you get stuck!

The banks refused to pass it on to savers but increasing mortgage repayments. You can be sure when interest rates drop they will be quick to pass that change onto savers but not mortgage repayments. <br /><br />Enough moans.

I used to work in the banking industry too and have seen it change over the years. It used to be a personal service, we knew all our customers as they would visit the branch but these days customers are nothing but a number and the bank staff don't know you from Adam. Like just about everything these days, it's all about targets and profits and very little service.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
