Bank’s suck. No seriously they do. They are behemouth organizations that are slow to change, don’t give a shit about their customers, and are inherently dishonest. All one has to do is look at the current financial mess they have gotten themselves into to see that they were doing something …
While this isn’t exactly an earth-shattering observation, I have noticed how perception colors everything. It reminds me of a song on Sesame Street – “that’s about the size”.
