The other day I had to make a trip to my bank to take care of some business regarding my bank account.
I had my debit card stolen, and I had to go in there to cancel out the one that was stolen, order a new card, and have them issue me a temporary debit card while I was waiting for the new one to arrive.
When I walked into the bank, I was hit with the biggest wave of bad air quality and heat! It felt like I just walked into a steam room, or better yet…even a furnace! There was no air conditioning in the bank! I knew something had to be wrong, because usually on really hot days like this, the bank has some of the best air conditioning I have ever been in. But today, it was not around. I knew at this point I just wanted to get in and out of there as quickly as I possibly could. I was not going to be able to mess around and sit in that non-air conditioned bank for over an hour! Thankfully, there was not a long line in there, and I was able to get up to the teller’s station pretty fast. When I reached the teller’s station and took care of business, while they were getting my temporary debit card ready, I happened to decide to ask the teller about the lack of air conditioning today. The teller said that the bank’s complete commercial central HVAC system had broke down, and that they were all waiting for the HVAC company to arrive to fix it.
