What if the Banker
Had to Stand in Line at Your House?
HOURS 1000-1100
and 1400-1500
What if the banker had to stand in line
(six feet
apart, please)
While you stared blankly at a computer screen
And finally mumbled, “Howc’nIhelpyoutoday”
While chewing gum and hardly looking up
What if the banker asked you a question
(a mask is
recommended)
And after a long, unproductive silence you mumbled
“notatthishouseyoucoulddoitonline”
Or “that’snothowyournameisinthesystem”
What if the banker actually did her job
(WHAT!?)
Instead of balancing out her resume’?
