10 Paterno St Banking Realities:

1. The “Business Hours” sign should say “Waiting Hours”
2. Pro tip: Bring your whole office – you’ll have time to run payroll
3. Tellers process transactions like they’re negotiating mergers
4. The boardroom chairs are more comfortable than the lobby seats
5. That moment when your coffee order arrives before your number’s called
6. Free networking opportunities with fellow queue captives
7. Security guards check IDs like they’re verifying shareholders
8. The deposit slips look like miniature contracts
9. Your withdrawal request requires three levels of approval
10. The bank’s wifi is faster than their transactions
