This analogy will not resonate with the under-30 crowd. I realized the other day that my kids don't have firsthand recollection of what "going to the bank" might be.
- rwmj 11y agoQueuing up to send your ebay parcels might be a more current example. That's my frequent experience at our local post office anyway.
- mikeash 11y agoHow about a supermarket self-checkout line, and the difference between one terminal and two?
- wldcordeiro 11y agoUnder-30 here, the analogy makes sense, I have to go to my bank somewhat regularly for things like check cashing, transferring funds from accounts to others and getting financial advice. I think you're mistaking people under 30 with people who haven't lived by themselves and handled their own finances which is a subgroup of under-30's.
- ominous_prime 11y agoI'm financially independent, mid 30s, married with kids, and I haven't been in my bank branch in years. I agree that under 30s should be able to relate, but technology is changing how often I physically queue up somewhere.
- kibibu 11y agoDitto, and my bank doesn't even have branches. Last time I stepped into a physical bank to do actual banking was somewhere around dickity 06.
- Dewie3 11y agoI'm pretty sure that I've been to a bank.
- wlesieutre 11y agoUnder 30, have been to banks. If you can get there during the 20 minutes that they're open on weekdays it's never too bad! I imagine they were much worse before there were ATMs every 50 feet?
- mjevans 11y agoI think it would make a -lot- more sense for the banks to be open from 'just after lunch' until normal close time on the weekends, than 'why are we open this early' until lunch.
