Have You Noticed Any Change In Business Hours Etc. Lately?

@icedsky I am sure that the bank was very expensive to heat and cool, it had very high ceilings and an expansive lobby area, they were never that busy when I was working at the car lot making deposits there. That building used to be another type of business, I forgot what it was before but Arvest bought it and remodeled it to be a bank. Bad choice. Most of the new banks here have low ceilings and are much, much smaller.

@cherokeepatti Has to be damned expensive to maintain a large building. Costs are only increasing as we go along. I would as an owner of a big company be looking at ways to cut costs myself without cutting employees.

@icedsky I can’t imagine them staying in business if they don’t try to save energy. I bet in coming months bank tellers and store workers even will be wearing warm sweaters and jackets as they work.

@cherokeepatti youre right, guess it works both ways

@Virgo79 don’t give up hope 😚

@cherokeepatti never give up👍

@MarineBob I’m thinking businesses, especially corporations, have consulted with the utility companies as well. I can’t imagine heating a huge building with high ceilings for only a few customers at a time. Arvest bank has branches all over and most are very small in comparison. I went to one yesterday to make a deposit for that same car lot and that branch was about the size of a fast food restaurant, and low ceilings, of course. I wouldn’t be surprised if Arvest tries to sell that building if they can find a sucker with $ and then build or buy a small building in the same area.

@Azlotto I think they won’t wait till winter. If they have a lick of common sense they will be assessing their energy usage and figuring ways to reduce the cost.
