It was nice not to have to wear my school uniform. When I arrived at the bank, the bank manager came out to greet me. He was very friendly. His name was Mr. Watts, but he told me to call him Ian. Ian showed me around the bank. He showed me where the cashiers sat and how the computers worked. He showed me the offices in the back, where the managers worked.
