Well compared to Dirtland, yes it is more expensive. Well I dont think it is really their job to screen the clients because if a non member goes to a window, they would be refused service anyway. It's their job to pass out tickets, not their job to be a gatekeeper in my opinion.
She didnt screen the clients in business suits, just handed them a number without saying anything. But since I was in shorts and a t shirt, I am assumed to be a non premier member aka poor aka non Premier Status.
I disagree - it that was all their job was then you could just have a machine as they do in the bigger normal branches. If they don't screen at that point then in this town you'd have plenty of people just hanging around for the free coffee, free wi-fi, comfy chairs, newspapers, etc.
Alright perhaps you got a point, but in other countries aka USA, China, Singapore, Thailand, when you come through the door, they ask you what services you need and they hand you a number.
Perhaps I have been away from HK too long to remember the freeloaders of wifi, coffee, comfy chairs, etc. I have never been in a branch long enough to benefit from these things, so they should give my share to those in need...
OMG, I thought I posted this in my sleep. These are the exact same things I complain about (except the public transport piece, which I have to disagree)...I was laughing so hard..
I sometimes complain about people walking slowly, people would respond "are you nuts? hk'ers walk very fast". They do, especially when they are distracted by their mobiles, walking in a zig-zag manner, or a rolling blockade in groups of 4...
Hey its not me, I personally couldnt care about this status but it is how the gatekeeper treated me like I was some bum off the street. For me a bank is a place where I go in get my things done and I am gone. No time to lounge around in a bank of all places. I didnt even know they had free wifi till PDLM said so. The status and all the perks is is wasted on me apparently...
