The branch of our bank that we opened our account at is located about seven miles from our home, but about 3/4 mile from the route we use to commute. However, there is another branch just off the highway we use, a quick in-and-out. So we pull in there, and lo and behold, the doors are locked up and the movable furnishings are gone, and on the door is a sign:
“To better serve you, this branch will be closed as of {date the Friday before we stopped}.”
Considering that they publish NO list of branches, either for customers or in the phone book, and we found this one by chance while taking that route, the likelihood that we drive by other branches a block or two off our direct route is quite possible but would take some exploring, in rush hour traffic, to do.
Geez, I like how they serve us better. Maybe they can improve our service a little more, and close our account or something.
Anybody else got stories along these lines?
