FUCK the bank! FUCK the Macarena, too!

Damn me for dealing with one of those no-fee banks… if they had an ambulance, the front might read laicnaniF eciohC s’tnediserP… see, here’s the deal:
Yesterday, I request a fund transfer so I can have green to travel on… Today, I find out that the transfer never happened, and the bank can’t help me except to make the transfer tomorrow. Tomorrow I’m going to be in a different fucking COUNTRY, one in which Interac doesn’t exist. Bank card? Worthless. So you see, you useless asshead phone-jockey (No offense to non-asshead phone-jockeys!), your one solution of having me transfer the dough tonight is abso-frickin-lutely worthless!
I’m going to the USA on a family emergency, and all you can tell me is, “It’s not our problem if our Interac cards don’t work in the USA!”? EAT ME, you scrote-licker!

I usually don’t get nasty with customer-service reps… working a retail position as it is, everyone always speaks of my ‘infinite patience and positive disposition towards people’… yeah, well, I’m breaking down today, your bank’s website fucked up, and you LAUGH at me? You tell me, “Yell and complain all you want, I can’t do a damn thing to help you”? Fuck that noise! It’s MY CASH in YOUR BANK… get your boss, hell, go get the President of the Fucking Bank on the phone… I NEED my MONEY, but I don’t need bullshit from morons like YOU! Aaaargh!

That really bites.

Could you possibly withdraw the money and western union it to yourself? There are locations all over the US and probably one close to where you’re going to be.

Ho-ho-ho-hoooold on, chum. Is Interac the only network they’re on? If they’re on the Plus or Cirrus network too, you’re sitting pretty (they have Plus network in frigg’n Spain). Check carefully - things might not be as bad as all that.

“Fuck the Macarena”???

My guess is that’s what they play when they put you on hold…

Just to chime in and confirm what matt_mcl said, cirrus is available all over the world (something like 1 million locations) and I know it is available in the US.

Plus is the same. One is visa, the other is Mastercard operated, but they both allow access to each other’s system.

As an FYI - the only symbol on the back of a the “laicnaniF eciohC s’tnediserP” cards is Interac. No Cirus, no Plus, just Interac.

Which is strange since they are a “branch” of CIBC, but such is life…

Yes, I’m still wondering how the Macarena fits into all of this.

Not that it shouldn’t be fucked anyway… I mean really!
