UGH! SUCKY BANKS

So I had an interesting day. I was all excited about starting one of my new classes, so I was going to buy my books right away. When I got to the machine, it wouldn't even give me $20, so I went to a different machine. It wouldn't give me any money either, so I called the number on the back of my bank card. The following are notes I wrote to myself during the time I was on hold during the:
-->TD CANADA TRUST HAS THE WORST HOLD MUSIC IN THE WORLD. :P Blech. OH MY GOD!
-->I HATE TD CANADA TRUST. THEY'VE TAKEN MY BLOODY ACCOUNT OFF MY CARD. NOW I'M ON HOLD AGAIN, LISTENING TO THIS CRAP-ASSED MUSIC.
-->I'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR 15 MINUTES. AT LEAST A THIRD OF THAT I'VE BEEN ON HOLD.
-->GOOD GOD, IT'S LIKE LISTENING TO THE SUPER NINTENDO RAINBOW ROAD THEME WITH BEATNIK MARIO.
-->THEY'VE FROZEN MY ACCOUNT. I HATE THEM ALL.
I basically told the man on the phone that I wouldn't eat or pay rent unless he fixed it. He said he would give me access to the account for the rest of today, as long as I promised to go into the bank tomorrow. I went right away, and with the last of my customer rights, withdrew all my money. I'm kind of glad I was forced into that, because it helped me realize how totally unsafe my money was. The jerk at the counter didn't even ask me for ID. I could have been anyone with a stolen wallet, and he would have handed over the cash. I have it now, safely tucked in my money box. Which reminds me, anyone know of any good banks?
