I couldn’t help but shudder from the cool air from the a/c that struck me as I walked into the bank.
I dressed in shorts and a T-shirt for the hot summer afternoon outside, but the inside of the bank was a completely different story.
I feel like I should’ve packed a whole new wardrobe for this location. The a/c was in full force, and it felt like I stepped into a freezer. I took a look around the bank and noticed that all the people were dressed for the cold and knew what they were getting into. Some were wearing coats or sweatshirts. Others were sitting in chairs waiting to be talked to, rubbing their arms to stay warm. I took a deep breath and remembered why I was still there. I needed currency for a trip that I was planning on going on, then also, I say trip but it mainly was for a wedding that I was attending. I plan on showing up to the resort where the wedding is taking place about a week before so I can just enjoy some alone time. It’s easy for me to think about the beach and the resort when I’m resting in this terrible chilly bank. As one of the employees walked by me, I asked if they were able to access the dial temperature control to turn off the a/c. They told me that it is upper management’s task and that they have to keep the building at a certain temperature or someone will complain. I told the employee that I am complaining and she said that there easily wasn’t anything that she could do. I think I need to get a new bank or file a complaint now.
