Transcript
Me leaving work everyday:
(Sound of someone singing loudly and off-key, interspersed with "uh huh", "yeah", "oh my god", "what the fuck", "bitch", "you know I had to do it to em", "I bought some dope", "took it to the art", "you know how to do it")
Original caption
Clients see the banker version of me: professional, patient, smiling, asking how their day is going, explaining APYs like I personally invented interest rates, and saying “absolutely, let me see what I can do for you.” Meanwhile, the actual me after I clock out is wondering why I spent 20 minutes explaining that their debit card PIN is not their account number. Banking really has me running two personalities: Relationship Banker by day, unlicensed comedian with zero customer-service voice after 5 PM. #bank #banker #teller #bankmemes #talesfromyourbanker
