friday november 27

today i entered my td branch and saw that, while there was a lineup of about four people waiting to use one of the two atm’s, there was no one in line for the two human tellers, who were talking to each other as they waited for customers. since i needed to speak to a teller anyway, this situation was rather fortuitous, but i couldn’t help but wonder why the last couple people in the atm line hadn’t just made their way over. even as someone who prefers interacting with machines to humans, i would have felt like an idiot standing there waiting for the atm if someone came in, conducted all their business with a teller, and left while i was still in line.
