Can't you just walk into your bank? [View All]

[Maat]

I just had the weirdest experience. Hubby and I had just done most of our banking online. I operate a small, fun corporation, and I had to go into to sign some papers for an ATM card. When I got to the door, I had to go through this small, armor-plated entry (it was kind of like a small tunnel, a lane) to go in; then, to go out (after I had signed the papers), I had to go through another one.

I'm fifty (older than most of you young ones). I remember when you could use one of a couple of doors and just walk into the entry way (the foyer) and walk up to a teller, and do your business. You didn't have to sign anything, make an appointment or look at bullet-proof glass. The bank personnel appreciated the business and you being there.

I was laughing with the security guard; he asked how long it had been since I'd been sent to the bank (a long time).
