   The world has turned upside down.   
      
   Service at the local DMV has gotten quite decent, and has gone to hell   
   at the two local banks where I keep balances.   
      
   The federal government has really fucked up banking, but some banks lean   
   into the fucking harder than others.   
      
   Yesterday I watched two different tellers try to illegally fund a   
   cashiers check from my mom's bank account while I was standing there   
   with cash in my hand saying cash over and over and over.  One couldn't   
   handle their repeated inability to even enter my name and ran off saying   
   I had a bad attitude and would have to deal with somebody else. Total   
   shrinking violet meltdown over their own incompetence.   
      
   I don't like banks inherently on a base level, but when I walked in I   
   put on a fake smile and a fake front.  I was nice.  I was friendly.  I   
   was clear.  By the time I left I was swearing and had to grit my teeth   
   to barely choke out, "You have a great day," as I walked away.   
      
   Its a sad day for banking when the DMV becomes the standard for customer   
   service they should aspire to.   
      
   Of the two local banks (I use a couple out of town banks as well) where   
   I do business that is the one that sucks harder.  I just went there   
   because the lines at the other one where quite long and their parking   
   lot was almost completely full.  Now I know why there was no line at   
   that one.  Nobody else wants to go there either.
