Why do the banks here stink so bad. I’ve given up on my bank. Waiting forever to get someone in Mexico or Columbia to woodenly read me a script and suggest I visit a branch. Head to the nearest, most convenient branch to be told I have to go to my home branch, and they can do everything right away. Barely make it to my home branch right under the wire before they close at 5:00 to be told its 24-48 hours before they could do anything as they have to send off a service request. Even then their suggested solution was incorrect AND it resulted in me incurring fees. They’re all robotic, don’t care about the issue and just want to pass the buck, then try and upsell you something. Why am I paying all these fees to be treated like a hobo?!? —Poor Uncle Pennybags

Just transfer your money to a Credit Union.
Plan ahead. And stop wasting your money on smokes.
When I found out I’d have to make an app’t. to open up a saving account, I dug a hole in the backyard instead. Fucking bank tools can’t even handle the simplest of tasks anymore.
Credit Unions are no different than banks. I used a local one for years. Their “investment” adviser sure did advise a lot of selling and buying for premium commissions. Im thinking the the hole in the back yard is sounding real nice. Real nice.
I’ve got crow guards. They work cheap – a block of old cheddar a week. Cubed, of course.
I have been doing zero fee banking since 2001.op, what kind of fuckery have you gotten yourself into?
I <3 money buried in back yards
Tastes like chicken
I’ve noticed I get better service if I wear my ski mask.
You could try that too…
Credit unions have crap hours (I’m still part of two, but they do have crappy hours and far fewer services), just maintain a $5000 balance at Teedee and get everything they have to offer for free. Also, use more than one bank and play them off each other.
