Banks, Post Offices and Libraries: a complaint
Around here, Banks open just when people get to work, close barely thirty minutes after people get off, and its SOOO taboo to be open on Sundays
One day I hadnt paid my piano teacher fifty dollars owed because I couldn't cash my check, since the bank was already closed. The next day, I go to the bank, it's 5:00 normal time for closing the bank. It happens to be friday, when they close at 3:30! The naxt day, I get there at 12:30, they close at 12:00! As John Cleese reminds us in a skit of his "Banks open two hours after you go to work, and close one hour before you get off. Consequently, Banks are open for two kinds of people: the unemployed, and bankrobbers". Post offices: Same deal. they think they're so high tech that they can choose whatever hours they want. For instance, Three deliveries from amazon.com have not arrived to my home. But they have been delivered to the local postoffice. The postoffice doesnt tell me about this. they dont send me a little card telling me that my stuff arrived but that they were too incompetent to deliver it to my home (much less tell me about it!@) On top of that, they close early! These people who work there take an HOUR AND A HALF for lunch! Hear that!? And THEY CLOSE EARLY! Libraries: Much better than Banks and PO's, but still evil wneh it comes to hours...especially on Saturdays.
