I realize banking is a business and like most businesses they’d like to grow. Advertising plays a huge role in that and I’m quite sure all my bank’s efforts to use me for referrals has failed miserably. It’s not that I don’t like my bank but putting a business card size flyer into the drive-thru canister asking me to tell a friend so I can get a can cooler is very little incentive. The worst part is I think even the tellers know that it is a complete waste of their time. Part of me wants to tell them not to bother giving me one and maybe save the bank (and its customers) a few dollars. Nine times out of ten I simply leave it in the canister for the next customer to refuse.
