OT: Anything Goes 33: What'cha Drinking?

[b1e9a8r5s]

Is it not a dumpster fire? Basically my main concern as people with Wells Fargo or used to bank with them for instance have told me to never bank with the because of how bad everything has been over there. Having a crappy bank you deal with can be issue as they found out

I honestly don't know what the reputation of Fifth Third Bank is and what I should expect with them

For 2nd time in my life the bank I have is being merged with another and I don't know what to expect

I don't mean this to sound rude, but these days what makes a good or bad bank? Good ATM locations and a decent website? I don't know the last time I actually spoke to a banker.

Amazing.

What are these ads? Wtf?

Yeah all these new ads at the bottom make browsing on mobile really inconvenient.

 

[RayP]

Getting a new type of ad that doesn’t go away as I scroll including sometimes being taken to a fake YouTube full page ad thing that replaces the browser page I was using.

Damn, someone just won $131,000 on one round of Jeopardy. It's an all-time high.

I wonder if finding a rabbit corpse in my plants two days before Easter is a bad omen...

And he won $110k s few days ago. Professional sports gambler.

Only if it comes back on Sunday

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Hosting Easter and the power just went out due to a downed power line from all the wind we’ve had lately. Oof.

I really like the bank I go to.

Of course, I work there, so maybe I am biased

But you're right. It's hard for banks to differentiate themselves. The biggest things are making it easier to bank without actually going to the bank, which is ironic.

I am at a fairly local bank, but I am impressed with how up-to-date they keep things. Never know with the smaller banks. It's also a great place to work. It's big enough where I feel comfortable that we're going to be around for a while, but also small enough where I feel like I'm not just another employee to them.

The differentiators are the random fees some charge, and the ease of the online system. Some banks online banking systems are awful.

I like Chase. Have had them for about 10 years now. My savings account is an online account with American Express, though, as the online-only savings accounts have better interest rates.

Just going to be that overly paranoid person but be careful on saying where you bank on here. No i don't think members will steal info but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Where will they steal my info from, though? Not concerned in the least to divulge the actual banks I use.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, if anybody went into any more detail, I'd probably halt it, but think that just mentioning banks is okay.

Like Ally offers a surprisingly high return if you're okay with essentially online only banking.

Also, almost accidentally missed open enrollment at my company for all insurance. That was almost a huge whoops. I thought it was solely for supplemental additions and not the whole shebang.

I mean we have given enough information on here where they could 99% find your name and then go from there. I am just overly protective of my info that is all.

My info was all already stolen in the Equifax breach. Looking forward to my $16 when the settlement is reached for the millions of people involved in the class-action suit...

I don't think I've ever given out my full name on here, though. If someone wants to try and dig that far, let them try. My accounts all have protection on them, anyways.

Haha.

I had my id stolen two years in a row for Federal tax. Whoever did it, picked the wrong guy because I owed money.

The comeback trail (to being on the ice) is going well. Feet and legs are getting there faster than I thought they would. Endurance/wind is improving but still needs work. Hands are slowly coming along but (as expected) still taking a long time and not even close to par. Puck still feeling a little heavy but improving. All in all, progressing better than I thought I would after such a long absence.

Told ya

It's like riding a bike. It comes back. Some things quicker than others.

Hands are making me impatient, however! haha
