Lines...Lines and More Lines
Posted by V.K. [Mel] Melhado P.A. on Saturday, March 17th, 2007 at 5:07pm.Yesterday, I wrote about having to stand in line at Starbucks to get that revered cup of ‘joe’, which made me think about other lines that I have to endure, while waiting for service here in Naples, Florida.Maybe it’s the same elsewhere, but here it seems they are everywhere.
One of the ones that really irrites me is having to stand in a bank line. I’ve never quite understood why I should have to stand in a line to give the bank my hard-earned money. I truly believe that the banks should send armored trucks to my house every day, at an appointed time, and an employee comes to my door and asks “do you have any money for us today Mr. Melhado?”. I think that that is a far better idea than my having to stand in a line, waiting to give them my money so that they can take it and make billions on it, all the while charging me for every check, deposit slip, wire transfer, etc., etc. It just seems fair to me!
Another thing that bothers me involving lines is when I go to the supermarket and see twenty cash registers and check-out stations, with only two or three manned. It really doesn’t matter whether the supermarket is old or brand new, it is always the same. When you question the manager why they they don’t have the stations filled, they will tell you that they cannot find the people to hire. My retort is that you might want to pay them some real money, instead of paying them in “sunshine”. (There is always something about how wonderful the weather is here in South Florida, and somehow that equates into a dollar figure, when companies hire employees).
I can go on and on about lines everywhere. Maybe it’s an age thing, where I’m feeling mortal and realize that time could be short and I certainly don’t want to waste those years standing in lines. After all…I’m a realtor and I need to be selling homes!
