hmm you mean those stores just to the east of university and snelling? I don't call that super ghetto. Its bad but I've seen way worse in other parts of mpls and st. paul. I would definitely put the lake street store worse off than that.

Deadbody, I gather you work at a TCF.

Could you undo a couple of overdrafts that happened to me a few days ago? I thought my check had clear and I went to the ATM and withdrew 3 times (canterbury), no dice.

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to work at TCF (the Midway branch for the folks asking) I don't any longer, I'd call the 612-tcf-bank number and ask them to reverse some of them. I'd also move your account to a bank that won't screw with you on unavailable funds (see any other bank in the state)

And for anyone who says Lake street was more ghetto than Midway bullshiat. I knew people who had worked at both, and Lake St. at least had a contingent of freaks who were otherwise good people, Midway was just all ghetto folk.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe the people that come into that branch, but come on Lake makes Midway look like Minnetonka.

Where exactly was this bank? I've lived in MN my entire life, nothing here is truly ghetto. Sure there are a couple spots in Minneapolis that are not the greatest, but its pretty weak compaired to most major cities.

It isn't 'Ghetto' if the bank doesn't have the tellers behind bullet-proof glass. Did you have these?



[/ QUOTE ]

For some reason, I don't see any bulletproof glass banks anymore. The last bank I saw that had them was one in a upper middle class neighborhood in Maryland. I even lived in, been to some rough neighborhoods since then and none have the glass.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably because the staff is told to comply with the robbers every request. No need for bullet proof glass if you are gonna do whatever the robber asks anyways, gives them no reason to shoot you, and disturbs the customers who think the bank may not be safe because the need the glass.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, over here, every high street normal bank has bullet proof glass in front of the tellers, and we don't even have any guns.

How much cash can a person deposit or withdraw at one time without big brother being informed? Does it make a difference whether you are at a large nation-wide bank or a smaller local one?

[/ QUOTE ]

Anything over $9999.99 means we have to file a Currency Transaction Report. Even if it is done the same day at different branches.

Lots of deposits just under that will force a Suspicious Activity Report.

How much did you make donating plasma?

[/ QUOTE ]

$50 a week, but I have really crappy veins so I had to quit doing it after a while (and I still have a scar on my elbow because they kept having to use the same spot)

[/ QUOTE ]

More info RE: this? Is it painful, worth the time, etc?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not painful (but I have a high pain threshold)

Not a bad use of about 3 hours a week, I usually brought a book and a discman to listen to.

The neighborhood right there isn't bad, but all the surrounding is horeshiat, and all the folks from the surrounding areas are bad (just east of the store there it gets super ghetto). I've hung out around Lake St. before, and I think this area is worse, but Lake St. is pretty bad.
