Banks Will Be Open Tomorrow

Posted: October 21st, 2006, 10:35pm PDT by Teller

Over the weekend relatives have been calling incessently to inquire about working hours during Eid. Here is what you need to know: Banks will be open tomorrow (Sunday) with Ramadan hours, morning and evening. Banks will be closed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We open once again on Thursday with normal hours. From experience I predict [...]
Friday SEQ (Search Engine Queries)

Posted: September 28th, 2006, 8:18am PDT by Teller

Blog statistics inform you of your readers and, dear Readers, I’ve come to depend on them to see who’s visiting me. Over the past few months I’ve viewed a plethora of search engine queries. Some are disjointed words pieced together whilst others are honest inquiries that called out to me. I would like this [...]
Miss Know-It-All

Posted: August 15th, 2006, 3:08am PDT by Teller

It’s official. The new trainee is turning my hair grey! It isn’t enough that she acts like Miss-Know-It-All when this is her first job and hasn’t had any prior experience. If you think the job takes such little skill to perform then why are you making all these mistakes? That, in a nutshell, is the [...]
Customer Service

Posted: August 13th, 2006, 4:38pm PDT by Teller

Summer is a lazy time for banks because most people are out of the country. We have less customers, thus less stress. Ramadan is right around the corner to continue our lazy streak. Lack of customers equals lack of stories for me to recite. My current obsession is turning our latest batch of summer [...]
The Branch & its Players

Posted: July 27th, 2006, 12:54am PDT by Teller

Have you noticed the high number of bloggers that make headlines because they get dismissed or made to resign from their jobs after their blog is discovered? It’s so bad that Blogger has a page advising you how not to get fired for your blog! The latest blogger forced into unemployment is Petite [...]
The Customer Who…Doesn’t Read the Cheque

Posted: July 20th, 2006, 1:39am PDT by Teller

You would be amazed at the number of people who walk into our branch wanting to cash cheques that don’t have their names on them. You would be amazed at the number of tellers who cash such cheques without realizing there’s an important element they haven’t verified. I am no longer amazed at the number of tellers [...]
For Better or For Worse

Posted: July 11th, 2006, 5:36pm PDT by Teller

Earlier today I came across a blog by a Dr. Lost. After scanning his posts I saw that he perceived himself as a controversial writer. The post that caught my eye, naturally, was in reference to NBK and Gulf Bank, two of the leading local banks. To summarize, he and an acquaintance had both gone to [...]
Breaking the Routine & Unity

Posted: July 10th, 2006, 12:21am PDT by Teller

One of the best things on the job, for me is the routine. It keeps me grounded. It keeps me stable. It keeps me on track. I equate it with praying five times a day. It always keeps me centered and focused. However when your entire day is pre-scheduled, one single event can delay the [...]
Bills, Bills, Bills

Posted: July 10th, 2006, 12:00am PDT by Teller

Each month there is a list of people that gets rotated around the branch. We call it the Red List. It’s the bane of our existence. Whoever is unfortunate enough to fall victim to the list that month has to sift through the names dregging up every available phone number we have for that customer. [...]
Forza Italia!

Posted: July 9th, 2006, 12:49am PDT by Teller

And so the World Cup ends with the French crying and Italians ecstatic. C’est la vie. Que sera sera. I’m sure that’s all the cùstomers will talk about for the next few days but here’s hoping that’ll be the end of it. Were you happy with the results? Did you even care? To celebrate the end [...]
