Normal people: Could you just staff your branches and phone lines with real people again instead?

@Daojoan there’s a laundromat near my house called “More than a laundromat”, but it really is simply a laundromat. It makes me chuckle to think about.

Like, c’mon laundromat it’s really ok, just be yourself no one said you have to be anything else.

At First National Bank, you’re more than just a number. You’re three numbers, followed by a dash, and then six more numbers.

Walks into bank.
Can I have some new tyres please?
Yes sir, is there anything else we can help with?
I'd like a chicken burger too thanks.

Bastard bank, more than just a bank.

@Daojoan where I'm from the banks were insinuating that they were more reliable than a spouse, and a replacement for mum's cooking. Can't make this shit up.

@Daojoan this is why I signed up for my bank's "you like surveys don't you?" list. every few months I get asked a bunch of inane questions about the wording for a hypothetical credit card offer, and most of my responses are like, "geez I don't care about any of this weird micro-optimization that feels like it's trying to trick me in some way. this would go straight to spam in 0.5 seconds if I weren't looking at it for this survey"

@gray17 @Daojoan They wound up using every single one of them, didn’t they?

@Daojoan Not just a bank, but a savings bank. Backed 100%* by a well-diversified range of commodities.

* Appreciate that's not always entirely possible, watching e.g. the price of gold plummeting just recently.

@Daojoan on a visit to the UK last year (1st time in 17 years) I tried to pay old bank notes into an account.
"I'm sorry, but we're a no cash branch."
Sorry, is handling money not the core business of banks? If I only wanted to be scolded for not living within my means or not making savvy investments, I would live with my parents. (Edited for rogue punctuation.)

@Daojoan@mastodon.social just store my damn money, forever, and pay it to whoever the fuck I want exactly when I tell you to

I'm wondering if Macquarie Bank (Australia) still thinks the constant bombardment of ads about how they're going all-in on AI in everything, is a good idea?
