I've been complaining about banks for YEARS now! I can understand in the 60s why your bank account wasn't up to the minute accurate.

I have a debit card. I have money in the bank. Why is a $3.19 slim jim transaction pending for a week??? I tap my chip, I type my pin, transaction goes through.......my bank should instantly deduct those funds, and there should never be a "pending" status. It's all digital! What the god damn fuck?

Because of ancient COBOL code from the 3 major banks that nearly all transactions pass through at some point. Oh and they can't rewrite them because ~~money~~ "CaNt FiX WhAT isNT BrOKe"

By ancient, I hope you mean from like the 50s/60s when computers first started becoming a thing, and not like.....the 90s. If the 90s is ancient, I'm just going to have to cry.

COBOL was developed in the late 50s
