I’m afraid that I just don’t “get” why the reduction in trading hours of bank branches reduces the spread of covid, as stated in the notices. If anything, I would have thought that it would be the opposite, because the customers have to crowd in during the remaining hours that the branch is open.
I can’t help thinking that the banks have got another agenda here, under the cover of covid. Are they trying to discourage us from using the branches (by “encouraging” us to go on-line and/or use ATMs more)? And/or are they reducing their staffing requirement is some way?
Sure, if the banks have an “agenda”, that’s their right (I may or may not agree with it). But it’s hypocritical to use covid as a cover.
