THOSE people? WTF?
So, V had her credit cards stolen, as you know. Yesterday, she had to go to the bank to get her ATM card and get cash until such time as her ATM card arrived. She told me this story last night and I was so angry that I couldn't even imagine how she must have felt.
She waited until the teller had finished helping an Indian couple and then watched as the manager of the bank came over to the teller and stage whispered, "What did *those* people want?"
Even then, she gave him the benefit of the doubt and and assumed he literally meant "those people sitting in those chairs now, what did they want?". But then she went to the front of the line and the teller (undoubtedly after hearing V's very non-Indian accent) said, "It's hard. Those people are Indian and they just don't understand why they can't get the rate they want."
V said she was thunderstruck for a moment then said (loudly), "Last time I checked the mirror, I was Indian."
This, naturally, made the teller hurry to get her out of the bank (and V got everything she needed), but seriously, WTF?
No, seriously. What the fuck?!
BEWIZE SMASH BANK NOW.
I encouraged V to write a letter of complaint to the Bank, but she understandably has a billion things to do first (like get her cards and money and life sorted). It just makes me kind of sick.
And you know what? I also would like to know why *those* people couldn't get the rate they wanted. And right now, my assumed answer does the bank NO FAVORS.
