Bank of America

So I've decided that the Bank of America is WAY TOO PUSHY and WAY TOO LENIENT ON STAFFING.

First off, they're pushy.

Alix went with me to do the first bank deposit, since I had NO CLUE as to what I was doing. Good thing too because it turned out we needed different bags and that we needed to speak with a representative about getting a night drop card to make things easier. Well, no big deal. So we made our deposits and had a seat. Got in to see someone like... instantly. Guess no one wanted to sit down near lunch time. LOL

So we're talking about getting stuff, and it turns out we can't do the ordering, Home Office has to because they're the ones who set up the account. From out in Michigan... Greeeeat. We're still waiting for that delivery.

This being done, Alix and I get up to leave when the lady asks us if we have our accounts with them. Well, Alix does but I don't. And this lady, I swear I almost clocked her, went into her sales pitch. I'm sorry, what part of "I'm with First NY" didn't she get? Telling me their not local... what a bunch of shit. They are to me lady, I don't live in Clifton Park like the rest of you faux-rich (since that's what a lot of them are) people. And she tried to get me to switch. NO THANKS. I told her I probably had my student loan through them, and we left. Like, didn't give her a chance to say another word kind of left.

HOW RUDE. We were obviously on our company's time and she's trying to make a personal sale with me so I'll use their bank? What kind of nonsense is that!? And Alix almost shit herself when I told her they charge a fee per day if you can't keep a $5,000 minimum balance for business accounts. Yeah... Bank of America isn't friendly to the entrepreneur.

BUT, that's not all!

So yesterday I went to do the deposit, and I got a teller who barely spoke English. I wish I could say I'm joking, but I can't. And she was slow as hell too. Didn't understand when I tried to tell her that my night person made a mistake in where to put the contents per slot in the bag and stuff, and then when I asked for more since we needed some, she kept asking me what, and that she didn't know what I wanted.

...How hard is it to understand "Can I get more deposit bags" when you're HOLDING ONE.

So the teller next to her had to put the person he was helping on hold to come get the bags for me. Talk about a bad representation of the bank.

Seriously folks, I'm all for equality in the workplace, but if you're going to be working with people, you should be able to properly communicate. Especially at a bank. That's like... common sense. Come on now, not that hard to figure our.

So yeah... definitely not impressed with them. At all.
