U.S. Bank

I have been with US Bank a long time. I originally got an account here during undergrad since it was the only national bank that operated in my small college town. Plus, full disclosure, it came in handy during those days for random «emergencies» that landed me flat broke and required Mommy to wire me some funds. Since that time, I have stuck with them mainly out of laziness to go through the legwork to open an account elsewhere. That is, until recently when I opened up an account with a bank in Hoffman. I keep the US Bank account active mainly to use for work related purchases, so I can have an accurate accounting of my business expenses for tax purposes.
This small branch I have been to frequently, mainly because it is the closest location to where I live. The staff here is always exceedingly friendly and handles my requests with the utmost speed and courtesy. In fact, if the level of service I receive from this branch was indicative of US Bank as a whole, I likely would of never looked elsewhere for my financial services needs.
The bad part about this branch, and it is significant, is the fact that it is located in inside a constantly busy grocery chain (Valli Produce), and getting in and out of it is a major pain in the ass. Making matters worse, there is a ton of other businesses located in the same strip mall and it is pure chaos most of the time getting in to park and leave. There is only 2 ways to enter and exit, and it is NEVER a painless process. The city planners for Hoffman Estates that OK’d this massive calamity of a shopping center near the corner of Roselle and Higgins need to be drug tested for LSD!
