For your convenience…

Whenever I see a business put up a sign that starts off “For your convenience “ I can be sure it’s not me they’re worried about. My bank had a sign that said if I wished to speak to a real, live banker, ”for my convenience “ I could go online and make an appointment. Or scan a QR code. Well, it would be more convenient, since I’m at the bank anyway, to talk to a person then and there. But I‘m lucky if they have more than one teller, let alone anyone sitting at one of the six empty desks that used to have people sitting at them. Plus, our bank recently changed hands, and the literature told us how much better and more convenient my banking would be. HA! Took forever to change our credit card info — Amazon, PayPal, our toll tag, and even businesses like our lawn service had to be notified. Convenient, my a$$.
 

You know, I think you are on to something here. Convenient means take care of it yourself.

Also they are charging more and more. I used to have a free safety deposit box. Now it's 70 dollars a year. No free for anything.

I'm able to wait for two cheeks before I go to the bank. Luckily. That's how much I hate going to the bank.
 
Who goes to a bank anymore? There's very little you can't do online that you need to do in a bank. I haven't step foot in a bank in 40 years. Why do you need to go to a bank?

I've never done direct deposit for my pay checks. Not sure why, just haven't. Probably because I sometimes put money in savings and sometimes in checking.

I got all set up for online banking. I really liked it. Then when my stepfather did the power of attorney though the lawyer and we went to get everything also done at the bank, all his stuff was online also when I logged into my account. Some might say, so what, who cares, why does that bother you. But believe me, it did. In ways I wouldn't be able to make others understand. So I just stopped online banking. Really loved paying my bills that way.

I needed cash to pay the dog sitter, and we had a check to deposit, and it’s just as easy as an ATM.

45 years ago, way before online banking, I had a friend in his 30s. He had a slight overdraft or something. Instead of settling it with him, they took it out of his mother's account.
