HELP!!! I lost my damn ATM card!!!
Man, how fucking shitty. It really sucks to be locked off from your money for an indefinite amount of time. The part that really blows is that I bank with a very small credit union... I may have mentioned that before somewhere in one of my posts... but for those who don't know:
This credit union has like four branches, and the closest one is in Everett where I live. I work in Redmond, so there is no way I can just hop over to the bank on a break or my lunch hour. Very frustrating. The credit union keeps bankers hours of course, so by the time they open I am usually on my way to work.
Normally, the worst issue I run into is when my vendor company forgets to approve my weekly hours and I miss the direct deposit cutoff. In that situation I am usually forced to accept a live check and then cash it at my vendor company's bank. Then I usually just have cash only that week. Not so horrible, but it always eats up an entire lunch.
This situation is much worse because my money is already all in the bank, and now I have no easy way to get to it. Man... sometimes my loyal nature just fucks me over hardcore. I say that because I have been with this bank since I was about seven years old (my mom joined through her work and then sponsored me for a savings account with them). I have made that my primary reason for staying, well that and the fact that all of the credit unions in Washington state work together in the sense that they share ATMs and don't charge each other fees for using each other's ATMs.
That said... I think I am going to switch over to BECU pretty darn soon. You just can't beat the fact that they are everywhere, they have great interest rates and if I need to talk to someone I can usually just go to a grocery store and there will be a mini branch inside.
Now that my friends... that, is service.
