Uh oh, menu without prices – this better be good.
Showing your face at a bank, strictly for criminals. I don’t know, I just think half the world has online banking and no one’s ever doing anything more complex than paying in or out. Unless you’re a criminal. They walk in and the teller goes ‘oh, see, look this person is doing silly things with money, why else would they need to be chatting to me’. Maybe because he/she knows that your silly banking app can’t bounce, split and segregate funds into the abyss. It seems like desk workers at the bank view their monitor as an arcade game and they win if they can fulfil your silly complex request. You could put 10 money launderers in a row, ask a banker to pick them out and they’d still point the other way. These people are the first line of defence in combating the criminal world and yet the hurdle is merely a step.
I’m at natwest yeah and the ATM is all beep bopping saying limit reached so I roll inside, went a little like this
Employee: how can I help
Matt: I need to lift my ATM limits
Employee: sure, to what amount
Matt: just take them off
Employee: well I can’t just remove them, you have to give an amount
Matt: okay well what’s the limit
Employee: I don’t think there is one
Matt: no limit? okay try 200 grand
Employee: done
Matt: and that’s cool with you
Employee: of course
Matt: surprised face
I swear these systems are so out-dated
Next time you get presented with a screen to tip put a minus before your amount and it’ll credit your account. Meal was 50, tip -100 or (100) and it’ll cover the 50 bill and credit your account 50, if the final amount is negative it thinks it’s issuing a refund, so it does. A human would spot this, this wouldn’t fly in a cash transaction – but a computer? It does exactly what it’s told.
No more tips and tricks it’s bedtime
