It was a trip to the bank. Then add in another trip to the bank weekly or on any major purchase, usually.
Wouldn't want to go back. I'm personally happy I have that 30-40 minutes a week to do my other hobbies or sleep in.
- carlosjobim 3y agoI remember where I lived there were bank offices everywhere a few decades ago, because people had to go to the bank to cash their salary. Then credit cards became more common and also ATM cards. For a while it was really difficult for people who didn't have credit cards, because ATMs were rare and banks started closing their offices or shortening hours rapidly. Not until debit cards arrived did things become more convenient. But all this was already in a time with digital salary payments to your bank account, had it all been cash there wouldn't have been a problem for anyone. Or if you want to go even further back in time, when people had a credit book that they used when making purchases. Honestly I don't understand why people accepted the humiliation of having their salary put in a bank account where they couldn't easily access it, or getting a check you had to go and cash. A lot of busy work for no benefit to anybody.
