In today& #39;s episode of Disability Tax™ strikes again. And how I accept ableism without noticing because it& #39;s so normalized
I have to pick up a card I applied for at @FNBSA and the branch with no parking for the Disabled means that we parked away from the bank & wheeled to the branch. It& #39;s got a ramp so it& #39;s cool I guess.
We get there & I& #39;m told that the card I was informed I only needed to sign for, needed me to wait an hour to get assistance with.
I couldn& #39;t wait an hour for a card so I was informed to come back tomorrow when there are more consultants at work and they will be able to help

I left the bank careless & after we got back into the car my partner says: "How are they expecting you to come pick up the card when it& #39;s not your problem that they don& #39;t have staff today? What happens when I can& #39;t be there to get you to the bank & there is no Disabled parking"

Which when you think about it, it& #39;s not too much of an ask considering that I did my part by following the

Instructions from them and after all that I still don& #39;t have a card & I can& #39;t access the money I need to get around.
I& #39;m so used to being told to come back tomorrow even though it costs me more than an average person to get around.
It would have cost me R60 to make a round trip

On any other day & if I go back tomorrow I& #39;m spending another R60 to accommodate ableism from a financial institution.
Never mind that I am risking my life to do these bank trips for proof of residence in 2020..
Disability Tax™ and ableism. Another day

Anyway @FNBSA I don& #39;t got the R60 to come pick up my card tomorrow. You being short staffed is costing me R120 I don& #39;t have and I can& #39;t access the few dollars you don& #39;t want to give me in my PayPal account.
So I need you to help me like you asked how
