Its a Small World After All

With the increased production of new, cutting edge technologies, the world is getting smaller. Today, one could have a better relationship with someone on the other side of the world than with his or her own next door neighbor.

At my part time job I work as a collector at bank talking to people who overdraft on their deposit accounts. When they call in or we call them we usually come to an agreement on a specific date when they plan to make a deposit. So working over the three day weekend I spoke to so many people who said they will come in the bank on Monday January 18, 2009. To my surprise when I informed them that we wouldn't be open that day most responded with questions asking why. After their questions, I had to tell them that we're observing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. When they heard it some responded with a simple "oh" or "let's make it Tuesday then" however some replied with "Well what's that have to do with the bank" or "Ok, so why are you closing." The more customers I spoke with the more frustrated I got. I don't think it was the fact that they still wanted the bank to be open but more so the fact that they didn't know what day it was.
