\"eye_exam\"I’ve noticed a different atmosphere at the bank since the beginning of the financial crisis: Customer Service.\u00a0 Man, they are so eager to please I feel like I’m at the Bunny Ranch.\u00a0 People are greeting me, pretending to remember my name, engaging me in (gulp) conversation.\u00a0 It seems like they all want something from me.\u00a0 Oh, yeah, my money.\u00a0 So, it really is<\/em> like the Bunny Ranch…<\/p>\n
