A Visit to a Bank Branch

Two increasingly common features:

Very few tellers. You're supposed to be banking online, get it?

And they're getting rid of safety deposit boxes. 

The home safe business must be booming.

We've gone a long way from the "Open a savings account and get a free radio" days.

A few more years and people will be used to a lower level of personal service. 

The younger ones will not have experienced a time when there were six or seven teller windows.

I mentioned to a bank officer that they might want to consider the potential downsides of the change.

He was puzzled.

And I didn't even get a radio.

Perhaps some enterprising person will notice the trend and decide to differentiate by offering actual service. We should be so lucky.
