Rant -- "Bank Drive-thru is for motorized vehicles only!"

[BadgerGirl]

I don't think a robbery is a good excuse. They what would prevent vehicles from robbing the place. This is speculation, but I am thinking the windows may be bulletproof. And if the person at the window closes the tray, what are you going to do?

No, the drive thru windows at fast food places are plexiglass...not bulletproof. So, I can understand that. (It still hasn't stopped robbers working from cars though...)

It is private property, so they can make their own rules. But that seems counterintuitive. Who wants a bike going through the line on the inside of the bank. It takes up room, the way the lines are designed, it is hard to maneuver. I could see customers getting upset with that. And I would be taking my bike inside instead of locking it outside because my bike goes everywhere with me...(dam thieves).

If we are going to change our gas guzzling ways...this would be a good start since on Fridays and Saturdays, we spend all sorts of time idling while we wait in line.

My DH used to do business with this particular bank in the area..I personally hated that bank and never did my business their. They are snobby, all the branches that they have. So I had to do a deposit for him, waited in line at the drive thru. Got up to the window, (not a vacu-tube) right next to the window so they could see me. And she said they would not serve me because I was on a bike, I said all I need to do is do a deposit..Nope. come inside. So I went inside and complained to the inside teller and no one explained why I couldn't just make a deposit on the bike. I was upset. When I rode one day to my bank I asked them if I was allowed to ride my bicycle thru the drive up window, and they laughed and said, you would't believe how many people we have that go thru the drive up window..another reason why I love my bank.
