So Long, Stink-Bank!

penfieldAs of this afternoon, I am officially free of the evil Riggs-PNC banking federation, having grown inconsolably frustrated with a fee assessment regime so draconian that they were charging me $2.50 each time I glanced at an ATM kiosk. Now I'm with Bank of America, armor-clad and perched mightily on a white steed, promising me hassle-free banking, online bill pay, and phone operators staffed by Sade sound-alikes. Sigh, my hero.
Of course, the initial procedure was not entirely painless. I did have to spend an hour and a half making awkward small talk with my banking associate, Dijon, a disconcertingly but undeniably sexy black man who kept asking me for my phone number. Is this what it feels like to be a hot chick? Or was he just after my money?

And since they don't have any branches, there's no dealing with annoying tellers or account representatives that only keep hours between 11am and 3pm.
