I’ll go into the branch like it’s 1995 and update my paper passbook and withdraw cash for the week

Tried that lately? Hours are shrinking, lines are growing.

    Lucky, small town I would guess? We're in a 1.4M population metro area, so they reduce the number of branch offices to the minimum they can while still getting the "new customer uptake" that goes with a physical branch location. Apparently that's the real purpose of physical bank locations these days, to compete for customer sign-ups.
