April Fools

Anyone who has been following my blog, will not be surprised that the title of this post doesn't exactly match it's content.  Only in that I am a fool to think that I would receive good service in a bank inside Walmart.  Not only did I not receive good service, I was treated rudely, and with contempt!  I think these people have forgotten why they have jobs.  Having worked in a bank, a grocery store branch, no less, I know that these branches are not there to make money.  They lose money, because a branch of a bank makes it's money from taking in large deposits, and loaning large amounts of money.  These accounts need to be opened at that branch for it to count towards their bottom line.  Needless to say, if I am a large business owner, I am more likely to head to an actual bank, not a grocery store to do my business.  The same for a loan.  So the truth is, the only reason a bank operates in a grocery store, is for convenience, mainly after hours check cashing.  Anyway, back to the service I didn't receive today.  After waiting in line for 10 minutes, and after a manager knew exactly why I was there, I was told I would not be able to trade 2 $5 bills for a roll of quarters.  The logic - I don't have an account with that bank.  Seriously?  At this point, I requested to speak to management, who also told me flat out, that I couldn't even get a $10 bill for my 2 $5 bills, because I don't have an account with that bank. Nor will I.  Every person who walks through that door deserves respect, because every person who walks though that door is a potential customer, a potential account holder.  But then again, maybe I'm just from the wrong side of the river, with no drug money to deposit there.
