If you can qualify for University Federal Credit Union, check it out.
Stay away from Capitol Credit Union. Washington Mutual has a very few
outlets here in town and is advertising truly free checking right now,
but this is new. Only because of various complete foul-ups by Wells
Fargo do we enjoy completely free checking with that outfit, which is
where a lot of stuff wound up after about ten successive takeovers and
mergers and computer-system migration problems, starting way, way back
with Franklin. Personnel turnover is horrendous, but that's the case
everywhere these days, it seems. Nobody seems to be delighted with
their bank/credit union (speaking as someone constantly comparing
notes, looking for a change). Some people seem to be happy with
Liberty Bank (Eddy Safady), but it has few branches.

So why in the world have you stayed with them through 736 fucked up stories?
Do you like being treated like a miscreant in the process of doing business?
Just take your money elsewhere. It is that easy.

I'm actually sick n tired of fake cheery "Hello! I'm your best friend and if
you play your cards right in the next 2 minutes during our transaction I
might even such your dick or give your wife head while you watch with a video
camera!" type of customer friendlyness bullshit.
Or the mind numbing "Bye bye" of those over made up barbie clone wannabe
flying overpaid cocktail waitresses with ugly stockings and hideous uniforms
made of spun plastic and used tires as you get off yet another miserable
flight in tiny uncomforatable seats, breathing SARS, your nieghbors dandruff
and dustmites and their kids sneezing snot molecules because the airlines
won't recirculate air and spend another $50 a flight to ramp up the
compressors to recirculate more air, and filters? Fahgetaboutit! Even some
cars have air filters on the cabin intakes, but airlines? Sheet no!
And then there is the sullen, rote, boss-makes-me-pretend-to-like-working-
here "Hello, find everything allright?" questions from the counter droids at
grocery stores.
Yah, like I could find anything because the stores purposfully put what I buy
mostly on the bottom and top shelves because I know their pricing game, and
if you want milk you have to go to one end of the store, and then to the
other to find orange juice.
Of course, a man with a list and in a hurry is a loss leader to these stores,
and dim-witted uneducated liberal women with 2.1 pretty little vacant-eyed
kidlets in tow, going down every isle and catering to the screaming "gimmmes"
is a store manager's wet dreams, especially is she heads down the makeup isle
to make sure here organgatan-vulva-in-estrus color shade of lipstick, wax,
perfume and some glycerine and red dye number2 @no-spam $400 an ounce pricing so she
can look good for the pool boy who's regularily porking her while she lays
around the house and her husband is busy lawyering or whatever downtown and
bringing home her bacon to waste in idle "shopping" and other self-indulgent
pursuits of the bored and purposfulless, to stuff her cart with yet another
$100 worth of high profit useless crap.
I LIKE hearing nothing.
I'll trade 100 potential dick sucking cheery employes waving their brown
pudgy none-to-clean hands in mock friendlyness at me for one grocery store
with "your item is free if it scans the wrong price", or back to HEB's
enormously failed experiment in consumer sheeple control, the infamous "Wait
more than 5 minutes we'll give you $5.00" promotion.
They must have almost gone bankrupt with that one.
So after all the promotions and gimmiks, we, the public are left simply with
vauge friendly promises of possible sexual favors by sullen employees.
No thanks....not even with YOUR dick sparky.

Because I have tried many other banks before Austin Telco. They all suck in
their own horrible ways.
Austin Telco is mostly irritating in their overall lack of business
sophistication. Their employees all remind me of people that failed
miserably at selling real estate. They ain't slick, and they get pissy and
unprofessional if you ask to many well worded questions. They especially
despise getting cornered with arguments based on logic.
Why do I stay? They're cheap. I own several businesses and move lots of
money back and forth between almost a dozen separate accounts. They don't
seem to appreciate my aggressive handling of those accounts, but they charge
so little in fees.
Fuck 'em. Keep your money under the mattress, or buried in your yard in a
Folgers can. Feed the hole.

Telcos tend to attract the liberals and badly educated degreed has beens from
the real business world.
It's sort of a co-op feeling for them to be working there, and we all know
how good service was in East Germany and Russia 10 years ago...

I completely recommend University Federal Credit Union, if you qualify
to join (have to be connected with UT some way). They completely
rock, and have done since I've been with them for the last...egad...24

Their initials are UFCU. With echoes of Pink Floyd in my brain, I could
never trust an institution whose name could be set to music with such
horrible results.
