Banks...

Ok I have OFFICIALLY had it with the banks' services in this country! Where should I begin? Should I start with the ATMs that are out of order most of the time? Or the POS (point of sales) machines in shops and supermarkets that give you an Error message more than getting the transaction through? Or the Electronic deposit machines which should save our time and efforts, but instead are not working 90% of times? And when you walk in the branch and tell them its not working, they just tell you to take a number and deposit the cash through the teller, not even appologizing for the inconvenience of their super services. And of corse you have to sit and wait for your number to flash on the screen after they are done with the 25+ people who came before you.

And the final chapter of the super service, while working on my portfolio online, and the market looking all green and fresh after 10 days of dropping prices, the online system just goes into error and doesnt open till the market closes! So are we just supposed to kiss our money good bye? Or should I drop everything in hand and jump to the nearest branch to stand in line behind 50 or more sweaty angry people who wana sell their stocks? Toll Free number I hear you say? Tried that, always busy...

A piggy bank doesnt sound like a bad idea now...
