I went into the bank at lunchtime today . The intention was to cancel a couple of direct debits on my account. Go to the information desk , but there is one other person in front.
Then from the side wings swoop the clipboard botherer's
. " Hello madam , can I help you"
"No thanks , I just need to cancel some Direct debits and I can do that here "
"oh noes madam , we can't have you waiting around, I will just go and get someone to assist"
Woman in front is still prattling on .....then out comes junior from his playpen.
"Please come with me madam"
Sit down in nice cosy office, he offers me a sweet from his bowl of Fruitella's
I declined ( didn't want to have to stay longer than necessary)
Knowing where this was going I stated before he fired up his Fisher Price laptop that I was in a hurry and ALL i wanted to do was cancel 2 direct debits on my account.
" Certainly madam, are you sure you don't want a sweet "
So up pop the details on his screen and then I show him what I want to be cancelled.
Then he starts...
" Why don't we take the opportunity to review your account whilst you're here "
" No , as I say I am in a rush"
"Well looking through your account here we could do this , that and the other "
" No thanks I have to go can I get my card back out of the reader"
" What about if we just set up an appointment for you to come in "
I just wanted to cancel a feckin direct debit
