It was worse than normal because it was also the 3rd which is when many Social Security checks come in + off of a Monday holiday. I don't blame most Surlyites for forgetting about the MAGA base. I forget about them over the weekend too when I deal with my normal social circle. Then when the doors open on any Monday morning, they come shuffling in and I'm reminded just how helpless they really are when it comes to something simple like banking. They lack many of the easiest skills that we take for granted, just last week I had one of them come in and try to cash a check that was made payable to the RNC.
