Banking in Times of Covid
Banking in Times of Covid
Had some banking business today that couldn't be done online. Had to visit the Branch. Because of social distancing, they only allow one customer to be inside.
Outside there were two long lineups. One for working class and one for clients who had booked ahead using a app.
The client line was given priority. Whenever someone left the bank, one of them was allowed in. The only time a working class customer was invited in was when there was no one in the client line. By the time the customer exited there was always a new lineup of clients.
In the 40 minutes I stood there, only one working class got in. I gave up and left. I'd have been there all day.
Another bank will be getting my business.

Re: Banking in Times of Covid
Having a smart phone and knowing how to use App's automatically gets you kicked out of the working class club? If a working class kind of guy had booked ahead using an App. would he be banished forever?
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: Banking in Times of Covid
The only class that banishes members is the middle class. They impose an income threshold for membership. If someone falls on hard times and drops below the threshold, out they go.
They expel their members, then whine about the shrinking middle class.

Then why did you use this sentence in your original post?
Wouldn't that lead one to believe that the folks without an appointment were all working class people and the folks with an appointment automatically aren't?Outside there were two long lineups. One for working class and one for clients who had booked ahead using a app.

Are garage door repairmen and HVAC repairmen working class to you TT?

Re: Banking in Times of Covid
Been a long time since I've been inside a bank but I remember 2 lines, one for business and one for "regular" customers. The business line was smaller and had their own teller who would call up regular folk if nobody was in the business line. This doesn't appear to be much different, and seems fair under todays circumstances.

Had an old flip phone. Threw it into a drawer the day I retired. I guess it's still there.

Let's take baby steps with him. TT, is your phone touch tone or rotary? Is it cordless, or is that too middle class?Rate This wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 8:18 pmHow do you know some working class people didn’t make an appointment online?Turkeytop wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 7:59 pmI don't see any contradiction there.Bryce wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 2:31 pmThen why did you use this sentence in your original post?
