I like to see their discomfort as I glare at them.
Meh, everyone needs to eat. I never get mad at the person behind the counter, but the asshole 5 states away in a Penthouse executive office pisses me off.
Technology is faster, but it will never replace face to face empathy.
I don't want to see the "discomfort" of the low level employee I am dealing with, but I would love to face the CEOs, and ask them why they think it is fucking ok to pit me against their lowest paid employees.
I agree. I do prefer paying my bills in person.

Yes I am not my mom. But 99% of the time, my paranoia of fearing getting cut off, makes me overpay or pay early.
And no, I WILL not set up autopay. I don't do anything financially online.
I like phones and in person payment. And when paying bills over the phone, I always chose human to human payment when I can. I can say, again, that voice command is getting better, and I do use it. But tap pay sucks.
If your money is invested anywhere, in anything, you’re doing financial stuff online.
Boru
Um yea, but between myself and the companies that hold my investments, have far more power and liability to to control my investments than if I tried to be a handyman and day trade by myself.
No, don't do anythhing financially online. I have investments that my bank manages. They do the work, not me.
Boru, you know me, not for one second would you trust me to care for your finances as a layperson. I wouldn't steal from you, but you also constantly complain about my spelling. I don't trust myself with online finances I like the risk being placed on my bank, not me.
It ultimately amounts to anything in life, some things one is good at, other things one is not good at. When it comes to finances, I am going to take low risk, and safety yield.
My bank does things online yes, I do things with my bank in person.
