After walking in and being greeted right away I thought this would be a nice, quick and easy visit. When I got in line to proceed with my transaction there were two tellers accommodating two different people. Five minutes later I was still standing there. That's a problem.
One of the tellers was struggling with her customer, so as soon as the second teller was done with her customer she went over to help her. Meanwhile two employees of the bank were wandering around looking for things to do while another one was sitting on his phone in an empty desk. I realize that they aren't tellers, but why can't they be trained to simply complete a transaction while other staff members are busy?
By now I am clearly frustrated and I'm told by a teller, "We will be right with you."
No you won't. That's generic bullshit that you're told to say anytime that you are taking too long to do your job and someone is waiting.
I gave it a few more minutes and finally walked out. Ten minutes in total I wasted coming to this branch, which is why I stick with my original location that always has enough tellers and can actually get customers in and out in a timely manner. read more
