What a week of ugh... If ever three letters can sum up the feeling of exasperation, despair, anger, sadness, annoyance, cold in my head then those three letters can. I lost my silly wallet because I am very silly and I need someone to pick things up after me because I am the most scatter brained soul you will ever meet that is not designed for this life in a solo capacity. All in all that is just a fancy way of saying I need a maid or lots of chains to attach stuff to me in a non S&M type of way. 3:30pm I boldly park in the disabled space and dash in with my passport to withdraw all my cash as banks close at weekends and at 4pm. Once I made it through the timed locks I entered into a party. Yes a party with champagne and lots of sweets and cake. 'Would you like some champagne dear?' 'I would adore some champagne but sadly I am driving.' 'Have some orange juice love, and here take a sweet.' 'Why thank you..' Maybe I overdid it with the flu medicine, I'm not tripping - right? I looked at the smiling staff handing out sweets and champagne and I smiled at them too - good times I thought as I sucked on my hard boiled sweet with my flute of orange juice queuing for the teller. 'Don't those sweets remind you of your childhood luv?' 'Yes they really do!' Then another lovely lady came out of nowhere and shoved a biscuit in my hand. 'There yah are luv - eat up!' 'Thank you! Mmm what's going on?' 'It's 100 years since we have been here - we are celebrating!' 'Wonderful!' 'Delightful!' 'Terrific!' Got my money from the very sweet teller who patiently listened to me as I tried to talk over the sweets in my mouth. Grabbed another biscuit. Drove the car quickly from the disabled spot. Realised that I adore Ulster Bank even more for that. read more

Ulster Bank - Banks & Credit Unions Near Me - Dublin, D

Ulster Bank Ranelagh offers a steadfast service to the local residents. An ATM both outside and in ensures that you are never waiting too long to withdraw cash. Upon entry you enter a lobby and press a button to request entry. When the automated light, at this stage red to gesture to stay put, turns green the door is left off the 'mechanical leash' and you are able to gain entry. If there is any commotion and somebody/ or some people who seem incensed or perhaps dangerous are trying to gain entry the cashiers are able to prohibit their entry by not prompting the red button to turn green and thus unlock the door. From an objective point of view this potent security measure instills an added sense of security in the customer and you can go about carrying out your financial business with much self-confidence and little or no fretfulness. The fast-drop box allows you to lodge cash without having to queue up and hence save a significant amount of time, especially during the lunchtime rush. This 'fast-drop' system is important to ensuring that as many customers as possible are able to carry out their business in the most undeviating way possible. This level of efficiency epitomizes the overall competence and good organization that the bank exudes. Cooperative and obliging staff further confirm this point. read more
