Protip: Some of those shops are not meant for the poors to shop at, and set their hours accordingly.

The poors are the ones who need to be at a 9-5 job all the time.

As a poor, I understand.

What I don't understand is when the government does it.

I have to take a whole day off because I'm obligated to go talk to some person behind a counter, who will tell me that I need form 87324, but won't be able to tell me what that form is, where to get it, or why I need it, then drive around from government office to government office trying to get the form, only to figure out another person at the first office has it, and when I finally get the stupid form, it needs some meaningless mandatory field filled out by my employer, who thinks I'm sick today.

I guess I'll cured until the day after tomorrow.

The government? Oh that's easy. They just don't care.

Wait until you hear about banks lol
They open after everyone's at work and close before anyone finishes work
Because fuck you, that's why

Sure, their physical office is closed outside of business hours, but they have a 24/7 website and a call centre that runs late into the night. The last time I physically visited a bank was years ago and they actually couldn't answer my question and referred me to their call centre instead.

Because banks’ primary customer is not Joe Everyman who works a 9-5. Their primary customers are other companies. Your checking account is barely even a drop in the bucket compared to the billion dollar company that has five hundred accounts set up for their various incomes and expenses.

But the reason there is a local bank branch in your neighborhood isn't for that one business owner nextdoor to deposit their brief case of cash at 11am

No, because originally banks were for the wealthy that didn't have to keep another man's hours.

Funny thing is they’re there working after public hours. What are they doing? No one knows

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago
