At the local bank, it could be friday afternoon at 2:30 (the most crowded time) and the local bank has 2 tellers working windows, and even though there are 8 windows available, I've never seen more than 3 of them open. So the line goes out the door and it takes 45 minutes to do a simple deposit. And if you want to do something a little more complex like an electronic transfer to a foreign bank, you better put aside your entire day because nobody in the entire bank will know what to do and it will take hours.
But that's because the people working at DMV are middle aged people who had to pass a civil service exam and earn $30-50k per year, while the bank tellers are 22 year old high school dropouts who last worked the counter at mcdonalds.

Here, you get a ticket and wait for three and a half fookin' hours.
:. And considering that they put it at the mall for "Convenience", thats jacked up. Use freaking pagers. (five counters) They have 10 counters at the DMV thats near my house. They're never open though. Thank god you get tags at the town hall and can renew your license online.
+1 on the bank thing, it takes forever to do something simple with all the
forms. Add to that the new "remove sweatshirts and sunglasses from your person" bullsh!t, and its just annoying. I am starting to like the local SB a lot more than BOA, but with the idea of going to school halfway across the country next year means having something national is a good plan. too bad BOA isn't in CO. Our bank tellers are all retired ladies too, we require a diploma
