Banks are always coming up with new ways to charge you. There's always some new service price that was not there last year.
I was opening a new account for my company, and the lady was like 23 years old, probably on her first job, probably just got a master's degree in economics. But you see, that's where it gets you in this country, it'll make you a bank clerk. Then, perhaps in 20 years, they might let you sell insurance as well.
So this clerk was talking so fast I could not even understand what she was saying. She said all the important things first, as in "we checked you're credit history, you're OK". What? Credit history? For what. I'm opening an account and giving you cash money, NOT asking for a loan here. Then she goes on to explain how my credit will be (personal credit and all the other owners) checked every single time I come there. I asked why, and she couldn't tell except it's the new policy. At this point I wanted to leave already, are you trying to make me a customer, I'm not auditioning for you here and begging for an account.
So all kinds of craps later, she tries to sell me insurance and during the pitch she says how some insurance companies are so rude that they call without the permission of the potential customer. Yeah, it's called telemarketing. She didn't ask me my permission either, we had scheduled a meeting for opening an account - how difficult can it be?!? - and suddenly she's selling my insurance I'm not interested in, and telling me all the hoops I have to jump. She actually used the words "in order for us to accept you as a customer".
Yeah, welcome to Funland. The bad thing is that there's not much options, all the other banks are the same. I can accept the fact that they overcharge you for stuff, and that you need them, but at the same time if I'm bringing in cash money in my fists, then STFU and serve. Sometimes it's some older clerk who is pissed at their job, but she was younger than me, and I'm not even old. Needless to say I wanted to destroy her emotionally and physically.
