Priority Lane

Need to go inside the bank for its counter service, so dropped in at the Pantai Jerejak Public Bank. An old guy who seemed to be in a hurry and myself reached the glass door at almost the same time. Ah hem... being a good sport, I allowed him to enter first. Almost immediately I regretted my action. The reason was that we were both heading for the same counter...the priority lane for senior citizens/expectant mothers/disabled!! He went straight to queue whereas I hesitated. Instead I turned to press for a number and then took a seat nearest to the priority counter.

There was no crowd and within 5 minutes my number came up. While waiting for the teller to attend to my transaction, I glanced down the counter and noticed that the old guy has also reached his turn and was in the process of filling in some forms. Incidentally we finished our business at the same time and left the bank at the same time as well. No loss for me!!! Hahaha.

Here is a tip to all my Warga emas friends. The next time you go to a bank, press for a number first before proceeding to queue at the priority lane. If your number comes earlier, move away, if not wait for your turn in the queue. Of course if there is nobody at the special counter then go straight up to it and do your business. That simple and fast!!
