Weekly Trips to US Bank

When I open at the Starbucks, we take our deposits to US Bank. And since I'm slaving away at the Mall Of America now, we drive half a mile to their headquarters.

Here, I think I've witness one of the most inefficient banks of my time. At their headquarters, I've only seen two tellers working the front. These tellers are on the slow side, they always have trouble with the cash counter and they seem to misplace their keys, when I'm there.

Two things. Have you seen their pamphlets? The ones aimed to attract future Americans in banking their savings with them. They have this "5-Star" thing going on right now, and they state that "Life Is Full Of Stars. Which Star Are You". WTF! does that have to do with banking? "Which 5 Star Are You". Ridiculous.

And on that same pamphlet, near the bottom, in print is, "Five Silver Stars, Five Gold Stars and Five Platinum Stars". I look at the teller and hold up the pamphlet and say,

"Oh, I didn't know US Bank was a 15 star bank. That's quit the status. Most banks overachieve for just 5 stars, but you guys really aim high."

Thinking my joke was somewhat funny, I walked away.
