I came across an article titled "Man goes to SBI in London, finds it shut during lunch break and Tweeple can’t stop cracking jokes about it" dated 11.06.2022 on your website. As an employee of State Bank of India I am deeply offended. We are aware that SBI lunch break is a running gag and people love to make jokes about it at every opportunity. It is not the gag that offended me but the baseless comment of Indian Express.
The remark "but the only problem is sometimes it gets dragged far beyond the stipulated time" made by Indian Express is unfounded. Please know the facts before making a comment as such about a Bank that serves almost 45 crore customers. State Bank of India (all of its 22 and odd thousand branches) does not shut down for lunch time because there is no such thing as "Lunch Time". Staff take lunch break when the crowd is less and take lunch in turns to make sure the counter is always manned. Some branches are so crowded that staff get to have their lunch sometimes at 3pm and 4pm. Staff are allowed to take only 30 minute lunch break and this is the only break they get in their day.
Next time before making a comment please visit your nearest SBI branch because we can take a joke but not a groundless statement. Was this information helpful? |
