Yesterday, after a long time, I went to a public sector bank to deposit a cheque and while I was picking up a pay in slip to fill up, the guard asked me what did I think I was doing? I told him, I was going to deposit a cheque. He looked at me like I were a moron and snarled that this wasn’t how it was done, as one needs to put it in a “machine.”
I prefer to give it to the teller, I replied to the incredulous imbecile. Surprisingly, the teller too was reluctant to take the cheque and insisted that I take the help of the guard in using the services of the “machine”. I said nothing doing. You had better take the cheque, as you don’t even have a long queue of people to deal with, as I was the only one at the counter.
Who employed these sullen morons with zero sense of professionalism, banking norms and the true nature of their jobs? Uncivilized boors with worse manners than forest dwelling apes!
