Innkeeper InnSight, Volume 3

Let’s Check-In, shall we?

I Must Confess…

The weekend is officially here and not a moment too soon. Nothing looks quite so nice after a long week, like a calendar reading Friday and a clock reading 5PM. The morning started off with its glitches though, and I doubted the day would end peacefully. Luckily, my outlook changed with a fortunate stoke of luck in just the right place.

If you have ever been a manager, of practically anything - you have probably been responsible for the daily “bank run”. The benefits are deceptive: a short break in the morning to disappear and take a drive. Soon you learn it just means more traffic experiences, long lines and awkward silences filled with elevator music. Actually, that does a disservice to elevator music - truth be told, nothing makes me wish I were in an elevator, listening with bleeding ears to gentle instrumental jams quite like listening to that same music in a long bank line.

When I arrive at the bank, I am entered immediately into a lottery for which teller will be available at the time I happen to emerge from the labyrinth of red ropes. The possibilities: The slow, shy teller, who never really makes eye-contact and counts everything three time at a snails pace; I often wonder if I should just order my lunch to her window. Next is the friendly, quick one, who always makes you feel welcomed and finishes like a good comedian - leaving you wanting more. Finally is the crypt keeper. Actually, that does a disservice to the crypt keeper. This lady has the personality of an over-stressed homicide detective from a bad b-movie. Oh, there’s plenty of eye-contact, so much that I feel as though I am being examined. Her questions are blunt and authoritative, “Is this a three on the slip, or did someone get sloppy with an eight?”

So call it a lottery or a game of human roulette, none-the-less, I am next in line! The slow one is still on her second round of counting, the friendly one is wrapping up a transaction and it looks like the mean one is berating a guy for shorting a change roll by a nickel...I squirm with anticipation. Then, to my extreme pleasure, the friendly one waves me over.
