This is just a general rant about how things are. I wanted some money transferred to PPF the other day. I was REALLY rushed that day, just went to SBI to do this, thought how long could it take. I *called* them before going and asked if any papers were necessary, they said "only checkbook", so that's what I took. When I went, the little idiot gives me a *form*. I'm trying to put my OWN MONEY INTO PPF, and I have to FILL OUT PAPERWORK! OK, so I was very irritated, and then it turns out, they need my PPF account NO! I didn't bring it with me, so I told him that, and SAID I had called prior to coming.
"Na, eta form, eta bhorte hobe". OK, so it'll take them 3 secs to get the PPF no. out of the computer, why can't they do that? The *tone* in which he said it "us clerks rule, this is Bengal, YOU have to do things OUR way". I*should* have punched his lights out then and there.
"Na apni dosh, ponero minute boshun, tar pore korbo". THIS GUY HAS A JOB AT A BANK! HE SHOULDN'T BE A SWEEPER THERE! I said "Na aami dosh minute boshte parbo na". And a fight was almost about to break out.
Finally someone else at the bank I know intervened, thank goodness, got my account no from the computer, and the whole thing went speedily, only had to fill out 3 things on the form.
The whole point of these folks is keeping people like these employed. WHICH HAS TO BE STOPPED. Affirmative action has gone too far.
I will shortly be switching to another bank.
