The Internet and Online checking accounts has made going to the ATM to check your balance obsolete!

I went to the bank today to withdraw some money and some old geezer took forever with 5 people, including me, waiting in line behind her. And she didn't deposit or withdraw any money!

Freakin' old people! GAW!

And a lot of them are from the greatest generation.....You know,Bob,the ones who did what they could to make sure you're not speaking German as the American language. There are fewer and fewer every day,Bob,so I guess sooner,rather than later,that problem will be solved for you.

Funny, we find ourselves using cash more and more,and credit cards less and less. Sort of a reduction in the paper trail,so to speak.

Ditto. Have some respect for your elders young Bobby.

the only thing i hate is they use checks still, and still wait till the cashier is done ringing up the items and have been told their total before they even get out the check book.

then they ask for a pen....really?...you right checks...and you don't have a pen...?!

if their are any check writers out there reading this, do us all a favor...get out your checkbook,make sure you know where you are shopping, fill it out completely except for the total as they are ringing you up, and actually listen for the cashier to tell you total because he/she will say it before it pops up on the display.

or get plastic

You do realize you and your impatience is why the stuff we buy sucks? Everybody wants it NOW and could care less about quality.

I was in an A&W the other day and the gal told the customer they were waiting on his fries. He asked how long and she said about 3 minutes. Dude LOST it. Three freakin' minutes? Are you kiding me?


BTW - that old lady probably endured the depression. You think she trusts ANY financial institution?

I doubt it. Most of them are dead or were very, small children then.

This reminds me of my dad. My dad is always complaining about how computers have ruined things and everything is ran on a computer now. He was saying if we have solar flares it's going to knock out our satellites and everything is going to be down.

He had to give me a lift the other day and on the way home I was talking to him about his recent eye surgery and he was saying how his vision is so clear now he sees dust particles everywhere. I said, you know it took some computers to do that surgery. Papa got Pwned!

Remind him about the big uproar prior to Y2K.
