Chase Bank

While I have only been here a couple of times just to use the ATM machine I feel really good about this review. I went in tonight (to use the ATM)… It’s 24 degrees in New York so it was very convenient to have easy access off Old Country Road and park right in front of the entrance. Event spots on the other side of the lot were an easy walk inside the lobby where the ATMS are. (That’s right, this branch has more than one) and considering it’s across the street from so many major stores, you know that management took that into consideration.
So I walked in to a nice warm lobby where I could easily conduct my business and leave. Nice that it was warm enough for me to work inside without having to wear a coat.
Most people know that I am a big Chase fan and this particular branch surely shows why.

This place is convenient for it’s placement on old country road. However, the parking lot is a bit annoying (small and awkward) and the branch appears old fashioned. Anyway, I’ve been here a few times on my way to work and it’s nothing special. The staff is mostly welcoming but today when I went to exchange foreign currency for American dollars, I was assisted by a grumpy teller. Her tone implied she was bored with my transaction before it even began and after she slid the money under the glass she said thank you and turned away from me. I thought she was being horribly rude especially since she didn’t ask if I needed anything else. Luckily I didn’t. Anyway, I heard other tellers and staff members kindly helping people who had some trickier transactions such as withdrawing money from their Ira, making a substantial payment on their mortgage, etc. I think I’ll stick with the chase that’s closer to my job from now on.
