Seriously, riding the bus never fails to give me a dose of entertainment during the day. I have to make sure to ride the 16 or the 50 down University, as the commuter buses that go to and from downtown just don't provide the same quality entertainment. Yesterday as I rode the 50 at about 3 p.m. a woman behind me kept yelling out "Anyone want to open a Wells Fargo bank account? Wells Fargo checking account?"
"Hmmm," I thought to myself. "This seems like awfully strange street marketing for Wells Fargo. Do they really need to put people on buses to open bank accounts?"
Yeah, so it turns out that Wells Fargo has some kind of referral deal going on and if you get people to sign up for new checking accounts you get $25 in your own checking account. The bus bank account hawker revealed this shortly after no one responded to her original offer by saying "I need $50, so at least two people need to sign up for bank accounts!"
Oh, yes please, complete stranger. Let me supply you with all my most personal information in this world of identity theft so that I can help you make money. Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
