About

Long, long ago in a blogosphere far, far away, we met in each other's comments. Who would have guessed that three years later we'd be married and blogging about our two daughters? Not us, but here we are!

Your Hours Are Your Hours

Yes, I am talking to you Bank of America, or at least your Easton Five Corners branch in Easton, Massachusetts.

Open until 4:00 PM means open until 4:00 PM by the standard, official time as obtainable from time.gov, not the time you decide to set your clocks to so the girls can count up and be out of there all the sooner.

I know, I should try to be earlier.  I shouldn’t be rushing up to your door at 3:57, but shit happens, and you are fucking open until four o’fucking clock, dipshits.

Thank you for fucking up my day tomorrow, assholes.

And let’s not even get started on the dork in the big old white pickup truck who couldn’t drive and cost me time getting to the same place he was going.

  1. My goodness, you’re having quite the day aren’t you?  Pisses me off when shit like that happens, so I can relate!

  2. FYI:  The Bank Of America in Taunton at 2 Galleria Drive is open til 8 tonight.I am assuming Galleria Drive would be the mall.  At least according to the Bank Of America website.  Phone number to confirm hours (800) 841-1400.

    Not sure if you had to go to the Easton branch specifically and I know it’s the whole principle, “Open til 4 is open til 4” but I just wanted to share!

  3. I guess that’s what they mean by banker’s hours, huh?

  5. Visit a bank?  Jay, you are so stuck in the 20th Century.  I’ve been banking online for years. smile

  6. In 2001, when we were renting a new house, they said they needed three money orders, and since they would be for more than a certain amount, 7-11 wouldn’t do them for me.  So I left work early enough—so I thought—and went to the bank.

    I don’t know when they started closing at 4:00, but obviously I missed the memo.  Fortunately I found a Publix with a B of A that was open until 6:00pm and I got the money orders in on time, but it was a near thing.

  7. Big banks aren’t particularly interested in the accounts of typical consumers, they’re only interested in you if you’re a large investor.  Take your business and go elsewhere - if you’re going to be with a bank that doesn’t give a sh#t you might as well be with one that gives slightly better service.
