We get no treatment from banks. The bank manager himself irritates people by writing to them immediately they owe the bank forward. I advise you if you’ve had this trouble in the past, but are now in credit, to write to your own bank manager pointing out that he owes you money and would he please drop in and have a word with you about it. The banks themselves they’re all in business of making money, so when they get hold of yours they make it as difficult as possible for you to get any of it back. For this end theyopen just after you arrive at work and close two hours before you leave. And should you sacrifice your lunch-hour to join the angry queue in the street outside, don’t blame the single cashier on duty for the slowness of the service. After all, the cleverer cashiers are out atlunch!
In this way banking hours have been carefully tailored to the needs of two classes of persons: the unemployed and bankrobbers. Actually, the increase in the number of bank robbers in the world is not as horrifying as it sounds. It is now known that over 70 % of them are only frustrated customers trying to get at their money. Yes, banks are maddeningly greedy!
