Shopping The Personals: I Got Cash Next to You at Citibank

It's time again for Shopping The Personals, a recurring Racked feature wherein we comb through the retail-based Missed Connections listings on Craigslist.

Ah, trips to the ATM. They're not fun, but in a city like New York, you really have to have cash on you. And while you're waiting in line to do your deposit or withdraw, you might catch a fellow patron's eye. It's not that far-fetched. Look, just because we've never heard of anyone successfully landing a date with someone they met in a bank vestibule doesn't mean that people shouldn't try:

2) Inwood: "Hottie who just looked back at me on the street by Chase Bank! Hey dude in the hat, you just checked me out and smiled as I passed you. I looked back and so did you...I even looked back again as I was going into Chase Bank...find me. Let's meet." [Listing]
