I’m going about my Stop & Shopping last week when a woman pushes her cart past the People’s Bank outlet in a corner of the market, then backs off a few steps and says, in a voice which means to be overheard:
“There is no such thing as a People’s Bank!”

I pass her a few aisles later, and she’s still muttering variations on the same refrain: “What’s a bank doing here anyway?”

Wonder what she’d think of the “It’s Time to Unbank” promotions across town at the Connex Credit Union branch on Whitney Avenue.
