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.

How can they take you seriously when you try to give them your "this is a stick up" note.

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.

Probably 6 months after my 5 year old turns 18 and I don't have anyone to support anymore.

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.

We'll keep an eye on you when going 10-8. At least we know where it is coming from. Stockton.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

Until you end up with that asshole that wants to play 100 questions while texting.
