Sectogenarian (or older) Itlaian people get really fiesty when they have to wait in a bank too long…especially if they have to stand. In their defense, it really shouldn’t take an hour to see six clients; BNL, I’m calling you out! I think since our precious senior citizens have paid their dues in life, they get to slide with their attitudes. Of course, I couldn’t understand their words, but tones and facial expressions are easy to decipher in any language.
I ventured to four banks looking to exchange my traveler’s checks today. No luck — I told my Mom, who came to Europe in college that a heck of a lot has changed since 1976! So the waiting only to be told “No, sorry” four times was less than fun…but the silver-haired cane-toters in the lobby? Pure comedy.
Ciao,
