Yesterday I went to Bank of America, and I was offered to use the ATM or do a phone deposit. To me that sounds kinda dumb, since the teller is squeezing their own noose. If I use the atm or use my phone, I won't need YOUR services dummy! I am all for customer service and I like to deal with people, not machines. This brings to mind the $15 an hour raise for fast food restaurant employees. Wendy's and McDonald's have an answer for that, self service order and checkout and just one employee to deliver the orders. _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.
Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

I can't wait till everything is automated. I hate people. I hate dealing with people. I hate when people try and talk to me while I'm in line as if I give two shits about them or anything they have to say. And that video that MrBreeze posted just proved my point. People are fucking stupid.
I love depositing my check by phone from work. No lines, no bs.
I love that I can order stuff on Amazon without having to deal with traffic, people holding up an line returning lip gloss, idiot checker asking if I want to donate to what the fuck ever, etc.
I love that I can buy groceries from Safeway.com and Amazon fresh and not have to wait for some old ass fuck in front of me to pull a check out with nothing written on it despite them being in the store for a hour.
I love that I can pay my rent and 99% of my other bills online.
The ONLY reason I leave my house is to go to work and buy gas. I truley hope that in my lifetime someone creates a business where they'll deliver gas to your location that isn't insanely expensive. Cause I'd more than gladly pay 50 cents or more per gallon for that. _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

I walk in and do my banking in person- every time, same branch, same folks. It is from this relationship I get amazing service when there is a problem, and a great benefit- I've made friends who have a VW and never went to a show or club event. Sunday, they won the top trophy at our show. _________________

For 95% of my banking, it's online. I did go to a bank yesterday, not one I frequent but I do have an account there. They had recently remodeled - no individual teller booths - open high top tables with a laptop in the middle of the room. No cash - they had to go somewhere else to get it. Hated it.
I recently came back from Disney in Florida - omg - crowded, standing in lines for everything. I couldn't wait to get back home. What a test of patience. One of my pet peeves is standing in line for food - whether its at a fast food or at some sort of function or even someone's house and they've just said "let's eat." I'll wait until everyone else has gone through. _________________ Oprn wrote: I'm getting to the age that any self propelled woman (no wheel chair or walker) looks HOT!! Oooo! look at that Babe!

I prefer people. I like to know a human being is front of me doing what needs to be done.
I like to support local businesses that offer superior customer service. I buy online when I can't find what I want locally.
Yes, food shopping is a PITA, but I go around dinner time when the store is way less crowded. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it?

I don't get this. In the time it takes to dial a number and wait for the person to answer I could have sent the message I was trying to tell them. Plus texting eliminates the needless small talk that I have no desire to listen to. _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

At this rate, I am going to have to text, snapchat, twitter or whatever they come up in the future, a hologram of myself swinging a cane at pesky kids. That's if there are any kids in the future pestering. Most likely they will be trying to hack my appliances and/or computers. _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
